The First Thanksgiving, Pilgrims & Sarah Hale --- Walk with me at Plimouth Patuxet and Harbor

Book Club Exploration: Thanksgiving Through Children's Books What can children's books teach us about Thanksgiving? Join Mr. Johnson and me as we explore Plimoth Patuxet Museums in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on a beautiful mid-October day! This month, we're exploring the history of Thanksgiving through children's literature, from the 1621 harvest gathering to the evolution of Thanksgiving as a national holiday. Our book club is all about "grown-ups reading children's books"—because it's never too late to learn something new, revisit a familiar story, or appreciate the beautiful artwork found within the pages of a picture book! In this episode, we're exploring historical fiction, nonfiction, the story of a remarkable woman who helped shape our national holiday, and a beloved Thanksgiving poem.
