review:
'Mayflower: The Ship that Started a Nation' by Rebecca Siegel with illustrations by Michael Lauritano is a non-fiction book for young readers full of facts and great pictures.

This book is full of information about why the Pilgrims migrated to a new country, the kind of ship they sailed on and what they typically would have packed. It also includes things like conditions sailing to a new land with storms and the possibility of pirates. One of the passengers fell overboard and was saved. This book is written by one of his descendants.

It also talks about the Wampanoag people and how they were initially stolen from (then paid back), and their role in helping these new inhabitants survive.

I think this is an excellently presented non-fiction book and a younger version of this reviewer would have loved the illustrations and details. I feel like differing sides are represented in this telling of history.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - words & pictures, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
