A simple, and seemingly factual account told from the perspective of the Hopkins children. Even though the book alludes to the trials faced by the pilgrims in Mayflower journey and establishment of Plymouth Plantation, the Hopkins family seems to emerge unscathed, casting doubt on the veracity of the story as presented. A younger son, Oceanus is born aboard the Mayflower. Samoset and Squanto (along with peculiar reference to the suspicion of them) are referenced, as well as the Thanksgiving feast. 
 Although this work is a Caldecott Medal winner (1995), I prefer Kate Waters' series (Samuel Eaten's Day, Sarah Morton's Day, Tapenum's Day), though these three do not reference Thanksgiving specifically.
