About this item
"This is Thanksgiving, a time to remember the friendships and freedoms we all share together."The Pilgrims embarked on their legendary Mayflower voyage in 1620 in search of religious freedom and a better life. The settlers were unprepared for the hardships they would face at the end of their journey, but with the help of their neighbor Indians, the Pilgrims survived the first year in their new world. Then, when their fall harvest was plentiful, the Pilgrims and the Indians joined together in a three-day celebration, the first Thanksgiving.
About the Author
After six years, 385 rejections, and too many sloppy copies to count, I finally signed my first book contract. But more than writing, my favorite thing about being an author is meeting the kids who read my books. I love to visit schools and inspire kids to read with my "A-Rockin' and A-Readin'!" school presentation, and to NEVER GIVE UP! Please visit my website for more info.I like to write picture books, chapter books, early readers, poetry, non-fiction and games/puzzle pages. My work has been published in a variety of magazines including Highlights for Children, Cricket, Spider, Ladybug, Humpty Dumpty, Jack & Jill, Turtle, and various teaching magazines. Look in the March 2006 Highlights (inside back cover) to see my latest game!
