The story of Squanto has always been a favorite of mine. I am fascinated with how God orchestrates even the painful things of our life for the good of ourselves and others.

This books is not a politically-correct view of Squanto. (Hallelujah!) On the contrary, it reveals God's Providence and Hand in the life of a young Native American and his unlikely future as helper and lifesaver to the pilgrims of the Mayflower.

I have read this book to lots of children and they are always fascinated with the story and beg for me to read it again and again. It is a tradition now at Thanksgiving for us to read this book together and discuss the different ways God can use us to help others.

The illustrations are luscious and beautiful and sure to be enjoyed by adults and children alike.

What I particularly love about the true story of Squanto is how it teaches truths about God's Providence and plan for our lives. It teaches that no matter what happens to us in life, it's not all about us. Most of all, it teaches that God is truly in control and to be praised at Thanksgiving and always!
