Children's Literature - Deborah Zink Roffino

Black and white photographs of real people give this chronicle of the Mayflower voyagers a "You Were There!" atmosphere. Actually, the authentic looking actors at the Plimouth Plantation, an outdoor living history museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, portray the characters. With bona fide tools and implements filling the scenes, the reader is reminded that the Thanksgiving story is not some American fairy tale, but an account of flesh and blood people who struggled and sacrificed for freedom.
