Squanto's Journey: The Story of the First Thanksgiving by Joseph Bruchac

4.0

I bought this book at the same time as The Very First Americans. My son was not quite ready for this book yet. Squanto’s story of being stolen into slavery and taken to Europe and his trip back and then his travels to help translate for Thomas Dermer along the Eastern Shore of North America—none of that was concrete enough for my literal thinker. The voice of Squanto in the book is poetic and beautiful, but doesn’t make sense for my son. He and I both loved the paintings/illustrations. We’ll visit this book again next year.
