Summary:
"History is written by the colonizers, so the Native American experience of the first Thanksgiving isn't given much attention. Readers are reminded to look more critically at the stories they've been told as they explore the history of Thanksgiving through engaging main text and sidebars. As readers discover the different ways this day is celebrated--from the foods people eat to the activities they enjoy--they're presented with photographs of Thanksgiving celebrations that look good enough to eat! In addition, they're encouraged to make a fun craft to share at this special time of year"--Provided by the publisher.
