Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun’s Thanksgiving Story

Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun’s Thanksgiving Story

Written by Danielle Greendeer, Anthony Perry, Alexis Bunten

Illustrated by Garry Meeches Sr.

Ages 4–8 Picture book

This story centers the Wampanoag people, who helped the Pilgrims grow food for the harvest often remembered as the first Thanksgiving. Weeâchumun (corn), and the other Three Sisters, beans and squash, guide the story.

Why We Love It

The Wampanoag perspective belongs at the center of this story. We appreciate how the opening guidance and back matter help families learn about the Three Sisters and approach Thanksgiving with more understanding.

Things to Know

Includes background on Wampanoag traditions, an invitation to make a Spirit Plate, and a recipe.
