Description: Lithograph, Forbes, Boston.

Learn how and why the Pilgrims left England to come to America! In England in the early 1600s, everyone was forced to join the Church of England. Young William Bradford and his friends believed they had every right to belong to whichever church they wanted. In the name of religious freedom, they fled to Holland, then sailed to America to start a new life. But the winter was harsh, and before a year passed, half the settlers had died. Yet, through hard work and strong faith, a tough group of Pilgrims did survive. Their belief in freedom of religion became an American ideal that still lives on today. James Daugherty draws on the Pilgrims'' own journals to give a fresh and moving account of their life and traditions, their quest for religious freedom, and the founding of one of our nation''s most beloved holidays; Thanksgiving.

Andy meets a lion on the way to school and removes a thorn from his paw. Later, when the animal sees him at the circus he remembers that Andy was kind and doesn''t eat him up.

From a childhood steeped in Biblical lore, seeing visions so graphic he could descibe minute details, strongly influenced by the art of Westminster Abbey, Blake created an art drawn almost entirely from his imagination, for "Any fool can copy nature." Never wealthy, Blake enjoyed some appreciation during his life, which he shared with his devoted wife Kate. Twenty-one of Blake''s drawings for the Book of Job are interpreted by the author, another artist.

The mouse family and the lion do each other a favor and discover the other is really nice.
