Nickommoh!: A Thanksgiving Celebration

32 pp. | Atheneum | October, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81094-6 $$16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marcia Sewall. This book honors the Narragansett Indians' ancient harvest celebration, Nickommoh. Each double-page spread depicts the celebrants in action, preparing sweat lodges, painting their skin, and ends with the cry "Nickommoh!" The sprawling earth-toned illustrations capture the festive atmosphere, and the text is lyrical if occasionally awkward: fragments and sentences such as "Venison and turkey the People will eat" abound.
