America: A Patriotic Primer
New York Times bestselling team Lynne Cheney and Robin Preiss Glasser takes readers through the A to Z of American history, in this charming picture book that celebrates the diversity, tenacity, and faith of the American people.
America: A Patriotic Primer is a succinct history of the United States, an ABC of the principles on which this country was founded, and a book for children and families to pore over, discuss, and cherish.
A is for America, the land that we love.
B is for the Birthday of this country of ours....
To choose the twenty-six people and ideas that comprise the book, Lynne Cheney has drawn on a lifetime of learning about the American past, and on the inspiration that comes from witnessing recent history firsthand. Illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser imbues Mrs. Cheney's words with childlike joy through her exuberant drawings. This A to Z of America frames the story--and the miracle--of our country.
