(If he had stayed he would have died from the sickness with the rest of his tribe.) All in all, I liked the book, my daughter liked the book, gave an opportunity to talk about Thanksgiving and the meaning behind Thanksgiving. Squanto, Friend of the Pilgrims Scholastic Biography by Clyde Robert Bulla. And how God had a plan for Squantos life even through some tough situati ons and through his many adventures.He was supposed to leave so that he could return to help the Pilgrims. I recommend this book, as I said, aroud Thanksgiving to learn about why we celebrate Thanksgiving. Learning about squanto from this book and then hearing about squanto in another book reinforced her understanding of Indians and Pilgrims. He teaches his way of life to the Pilgrims and without that knowledge the Pilgrims would have run out of food.Easy read for kids. He still goes on and finds comfort in helping the Pilgrims. Tells about the first Thanksgiving as told from an Indians perspective as he travels around England and returns home to find his village gone and though his people were either taken for slavery or died from a sickness. A biography about Squanto, the American Wampanoag Indian who spent years in England, was sold as a slave, and finally returned to his home where he was. He is determined to travel with and learn from these men. This is a great book to be read around Thanksgiving. Squanto is fascinated with the white men on the big ships that stop outside of his village.
