The striking illustrations and free verse portray America from the earliest days through the present times. Each verse is supported by a famous quotation to reinforce its meaning. The reader will examine what it is to be an American, explore the country's tumultuous past, and look with hope to the future.
The author's notes in the introduction provide insight into the creation of this book; a response to the aftermath to the terror attack on the World Trade Center.
