The mother of a Russian immigrant girl makes her child a pilgrim doll modeled on herself, a modern-day pilgrim. Sparkling new illustrations refresh this Thanksgiving classic based on the true experience of a member of Barbara Cohen's family. The touching story tells how recent immigrant Molly leads her third-grade class to discover that it takes all kinds of pilgrims to make a Thanksgiving. Originally published in 1983, Molly's Pilgrim inspired the 1986 Academy Award winning live-action short film. Told to make a Pilgrim doll for the Thanksgiving display at school, Molly is embarassed when her mother tries to help her out by creating a doll dressed as she herself was dressed before leaving Russia to seek religious freedom. As Molly nears her first Thanksgiving in the New World, she doesn't find much to be thankful for. Molly's embarrassed when her mother helps with a Thanksgiving project by making a little doll that looks more like a Russian refugee than a New England Pilgrim. But that tiny modern-day Pilgrim just might help Molly to find a place for herself in America. B&W illustrations. |
