She was a 10-year-old African American girl with dark skin, big brown eyes and two afro puff ponytails tied with cotton candy looking ribbons. Z'Rica lived with her mom, little sister, and baby sister. They didn't have a home, so the car was their house. The back seat was Z'Rica's bedroom, and she kept her few belongings in a suitcase. At night, she'd sleep under a blanket, dreaming of a different life. Illustration: Z'Rica and her family in their car. Z'Rica is in the backseat, surrounded by her few belongings.

1. Thanksgiving was approaching quickly. John Jr and Yuēhàn were wanting to understand how the first Thanksgiving become known. John Jr went to the internet and began telling Yuēhàn about the Mayflower and Pilgrims. 2. John Jr explained that the Mayflower was an English sailing ship that transported a group of English families, known today as the Pilgrims, from England to the New World. After 10 weeks at sea, Mayflower, with 102 passengers, reached the United States, dropping anchor near Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on November 21, 1620. The captain of the Mayflower was Christopher Jones. 3. John Jr went on that The pilgrims wanted to separate from the Church of Egland and they believed God wanted them to voyage to America. During the voyage, the pilgrims passed the time by reading by candlelight or playing cards and games. Upon the arrival on land, the pilgrims were surprised to see the ground frozen and that led to their inability to plant and harvest food. 4. John Jr told Yuehan about the native Indians giving a hand to the pilgrims. The Indians taught the pilgrims how to gather food and survival skills. The help from the Indians save 53 pilgrims from ultimately perishing. Most of the pilgrims died from diseases described as a mixture of scurvy, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. 5. The following year, the 53 pilgrims and 90 Wampanoag Indians had a celebration that we now call Thanksgiving. The Mayflower was torn apart after Christopher Jones passed away. 6. John Jr and Yuehan started counting down the days to Thanksgiving. They planned a special tribute and prayer for the Pilgrim and Indians!

Once upon a time, in a charming little village nestled between rolling green hills, there lived a cheerful young fairy named Pixie. With her bright pink wings that sparkled in the sunlight and her mischievous twinkle in her eyes, Pixie loved to explore the wonders of the world around her. One sunny morning, as Pixie fluttered around the village, she found something truly enchanting. It was a babydoll, with rosy cheeks, big blue eyes, and a dress made of the softest fabric. Pixie picked up the babydoll gently and hugged it close. She instantly felt a magical connection, as if they were destined to be best friends. Pixie named the babydoll "Bella," and from that day on, they were inseparable. Together, Pixie and Bella went on many whimsical adventures. They danced with butterflies in flower-filled meadows, splashed in glistening streams, and even made friends with the talking animals of the forest. One day, as Pixie and Bella played near a bubbling brook, they heard a faint cry for help. Following the sound, they discovered a tiny, lost squirrel named Nutty, who had fallen into a deep hole. Pixie knew she had to help her newfound friend. With Bella by her side, she hatched a clever plan. She tied a long piece of vine to Bella and carefully lowered her into the hole. Nutty grabbed hold of Bella, and Pixie used all her fairy strength to pull them both to safety. Grateful and relieved, Nutty thanked Pixie and Bella with a basket full of acorns and berries. They shared a delicious picnic together and celebrated their new friendship. As the sun set, Pixie and Bella returned to their cozy fairy house, feeling proud of their brave adventure. They snuggled up in Pixie's soft bed, and Pixie whispered, "Thank you, Bella, for being the best friend a fairy could ever have." And so, Pixie and her babydoll Bella lived happily ever after, embarking on many more magical adventures together, always surrounded by the love and laughter of their friends.
