A modern Thanksgiving classic about an immigrant girl who comes to identify with the story of the Pilgrims, as she seeks religious freedom and a home in a new land.

As Molly nears her first Thanksgiving in the New World, she doesn't find much to be thankful for. Her classmates giggle at her Yiddish accent and make fun of her unfamiliarity with American ways.

Molly's embarassed when her mother helps with a class Thanksgiving project by making a little doll that looks more like a Russian refugee than a New England Pilgrim. But the tiny modern-day pilgrim just might help Molly to find a place for herself in America.

Evaluate Appertaining To Books Molly's Pilgrim (Molly #1)

It's a really good book. (view spoiler)[ I don't really like one of the characters though, her name is Elizabeth. She's really mean to Molly, she laughs and makes fun of Molly. I don't think that you should be mean to people who are different than you, I think you should be their friend. (hide spoiler)]



I dont usually review picture books, but this is a classic Thanksgiving story perfect for many different ages. Molly and her family are immigrants in America in the early 1900s. Because of her accent and interesting clothes, Molly is teased by other students in school. For a Thanksgiving project, she is told to make a pilgrim clothespin doll. After hearing an explanation of Pilgrims, Mollys mother makes the doll to look like her. This is a sweet story about all kinds of pilgrims in America.

"Molly's Pilgrim" is a really heart-warming story about a young Jewish girl that is having a hard time in her new school. Moving from New York City to a smaller town, Molly doesn't fit in with her classmates, especially because of a bully named Elizabeth. Crying to her mother, Molly is determined to not let her mother know that anymore bullying is going on so that her mother does not talk to her teacher. In school the next day the class is learning about Thanksgiving, a holiday that Molly

Loved this story! A great addition to my Thanksgiving book collection. I read it aloud for my 7 yr old and she immediately wanted to read it again. A great book for turning the hearts of the children to their ancestors and learning more about them. Also great for teaching kindness and respect to our fellow travelers in life. We had a great discussion after reading this story. I loved the black and white drawings.

Reading Rainbow: Watch the Stars Come Out.We cringe at reading books that depict such mean language (the girls teasing/predjudice) but in this case I went for it. Bea was very inspired by the doll making and embarked on a new obsession for a while.

A classic book to read at Thanksgiving time. A short read that tells about an immigrant Jewish Russian girl trying to fit into her new school with girls who are unkind to her. She is assigned to make a Pilgrim doll but her mother does the assignment and makes a very unique doll. In the end, the mother teaches everyone a lesson and everyone learns that we are all Pilgrims in some way.
