SQUANTO AND THE MIRACLE OF THANKSGIVING
LITTLE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS: THE ILLUSTRATED EDITION
The Gospel Coalition 2021 Book Awards Honorable Mention - Children's ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover 2021 Winner A classic work of literature, adapted for children and beautifully illustrated. Perceiving the need for a simpler version of a timeless classic, Helen Taylor faithfully adapted John Bunyan's allegory of the Christian life, The Pilgrim's Progress, for young readers—hoping to bring its treasury of wisdom nearer to children's hearts and minds. That version has sold over 800,000 copies! It preserves the original plotlines of Bunyan's classic while telling the story of Little Christian and Christiana in a way that kids can understand. In this fresh, imaginative new edition, bestselling illustrator Joe Sutphin portrays the characters of Bunyan's tale as animals living in a woodland realm. Children will delight in the lavish illustrations, reading alongside their parents or interacting on their own with the timeless words and beautiful imagery that they discover on every page. This book will help children see the trials and triumphs of faithfulness with fresh eyes, leading them to declare along with Christian, "I am going to the King!"
This is a lovely reading of the book on YT by a mama with an Australian accent. Kiddos can follow along in their book while listening. Very calming and delightful voice.

One of the best shows of all time in our opinion. Caveat: we preview these as some of the episodes are quite heavy and some even get a little dark. So parents review first on an episode by episode basis. Most are absolutely wonderful but others are a bit too much for kids in our view.
