When the pilgrims set out for America, they brought with them a dream for the future. Sickness, hardship, and heartache stood in the way of that dream. But the pilgrims worked hard, keeping their dream close to their hearts, until they were finally able to make it come true.

Marcia Sewell’s text draws on journal entries from the Pilgrims and recreates their lives in striking detail. Beautiful illustrations accompany the text.
