Three Young Pilgrims by Cheryl Harness

Three Young Pilgrims

by Cheryl Harness

In these richly detailed pages, you'll meet three of the young Pilgrims who sailed on the Mayflower, Bartholomew, Remember, and Mary Allerton.

When Bartholemew, Remember, and Mary Allerton and their parents first step down from the Mayflower after sixty days at sea, they never dream that life in the New World will be so hard. Many in their Plymouth colony won't make it through the winter, and the colony's first harvest is possible only with the help of two friends, Samoset and Squanto.

Richly detailed paintings show how the pilgrims lived after landing at Plymouth, through the dark winter and into the busy days of spring, summer, and fall. Culminating with the excitement of the original Thanksgiving feast, Three Young Pilgrims makes history come alive.

I own a paperback copy of this book. I think I bought it because of my new found passion to buy everything Cheryl Harness has ever written and illustrated. I was elated to have it on my shelf because it is part of the new Sonlight Curriculum History/Bible/Literature Kindergarten released in early 2020 for Exploring American History that I am reading with my six-year-old son (Rascal). I was equally thrilled to check it off my list when I was reading through Books to Build On for more ideas. While I'm not quite certain, it wouldn't surprise me to find it recommended by Beautiful Feet and Memoria Press, as well.

This book is vivid with descriptive illustrations and with the bubbles and labels leads to re-reading or exploring later to delve deeper. Written after an adventure to Plimouth in Plymouth, MA and just enough history to be true but not too scary. Following three siblings children from the boat to their lives.
