How Many Days to America: A Thanksgiving Story, written by Eve Bunting, is a poignant picture book that tells the harrowing tale of a refugee family forced to flee their Caribbean island home in search of freedom and safety. When the government in their country is overthrown, they leave suddenly on a small boat, enduring challenges such as limited food, water, and space, as well as dangerous encounters at sea. The family's journey is fraught with fear and uncertainty, but they are driven by hope and the promise of a new life in America. The book ultimately culminates in their arrival on Thanksgiving Day, providing a parallel to the historical pilgrimages to America and a contemporary context for discussing issues of immigration and asylum. The story is a touching reminder of the universal search for a place to call home and celebrates the spirit of gratitude and resilience.
