“Around the Atlantic Ocean, a lone ship on a vast sea. Ablaze with new hope, all praying to be free.” From the lives of our early settlers, who established the foundations for American freedoms and ideals, to lately’s celebrations, P is for Pilgrim colorfully examines the history and lore of Thanksgiving. Educators will find the inclusion of the Core Democratic Values of valuable use for the study room whilst kids of every age will benefit from the bright, engaging illustrations and fascinating sidebar text. “Zippy bands zigzagging down the street, zebras trotting, zeppelin-like balloons afloat. Flags flying, banners waving, a Thanksgiving Day Parade playing a happy note.”Lecturer and book reviewer Carol Crane is widely recognized by many schools and educators for her expertise in children’s literature.
