DESCRIPTION:
This entertaining and historical story shows that the actual hero of the Thanksgiving was neither white nor Indian, but God. But God had plans for Squanto. In 1608, English traders came to Massachusetts and captured a 12-year old Indian, Squanto, and sold him into slavery. He was raised by Christians and taught faith in God. Upon arrival, he learned an epidemic had wiped out his entire village. God delivered a Thanksgiving miracle: an English-speaking Indian living in the exact place where the Pilgrims land in a strange new world.. Ten years later he was sent home to America

From Publishers Weekly This paper-over-board picture book biography approaches the holiday from an evangelical point of view. Stirnweis's portraits tend to be stiff and inconsistent, but his realistic renderings of M laga and London architecture are atmospheric. . (Aug.) Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. Finally, in 1618, he arrives home, only to find his village wiped out by disease. The discovery tests Squanto's faith but does not destroy it ("As he pondered the great sorrow in his heart, he talked to God"). His friends are sold into slavery, "but God had another plan for Squanto." Monks purchase Squanto and teach him their beliefs, then entrust him to a kind man in London until he can find passage back to America. When Squanto comes to the aid of starving English newcomers, Governor Bradford predicts the hero's role: "Perhaps God has sent you to be our Joseph."
