This tale of the first colony at Jamestown is told from the perspective of the princess daughter of the mighty chief Powhatan.

 

With this extraordinary story, the authors bring to life the fascinating story of Pocahontas.

Pocahontas was the Native American princess who played such a crucial role in the early days of the Jamestown settlement. Here she is depicted as a prankish girl, a courageous and generous young woman who is willing to risk her father’s wrath for helping the starving English settlers, a dignified and cool-headed captive during her betrayal and kidnapping, and a noble and beautiful woman as she is presented to the King and Queen of England. This delightful book offers an authentic yet very human portrayal of one of America’s first and best-loved heroines.

 

Throughout their long careers, Ingri and Edgar Parin D’Aulaire worked as a married team on both art and text. Their research took them to the actual places of their biographies. This included the countries of Italy, Portugal, and Spain when they were researching Christopher Columbus. They went to the hills of Virginia while they researched George Washington. And they went to the wilds of Kentucky and Illinois for Abraham Lincoln, for which they won the Caldecott Medal.
