Once again, we love The Story of the World! Right now, we are in early modern times, hanging out in the early 1600's with some explorers, adventurers, pilgrims, and Native Americans. What an awesome time in history! Tonight we had some traditional Thanksgiving foods for dinner, not a feast really because there was no deer or turkey, but some basics. We started off with traditional cornbread. This was probably my kids' favorite part.
Then we ate stewed pompion (squash) and succotash. (resist the urge to say suffering succotash please.....)

During our meal we read the story of Squanto. In this age of revisionist history, it is a great thing to know that there are well told stories out there. I recommend:
Squanto and The Miracle of Thanksgiving
A beautiful story of God's Divine Providence in the lives of the Pilgrims and Squanto.
For other stories about God's providence, I recommend a series called:
The Light and the Glory for Children
As always, you can get The Story of the World at
