About this book
In this lively picture book, young readers explore the stories behind America's most recognizable symbols from the Statue of Liberty to the Liberty Bell, and from the Pledge of Allegiance to Memorial Day. Each two-page spread answers questions about where these symbols come from, what they mean, and how they become part of American culture. Bright, humorous illustrations and simple text make the history approachable for early readers, while clear explanations highlight nearly thirty places, objects, holidays, and inspiring words that define the United States.
