A Is for America: An American Alphabet

Synopsis

From the British and our Constitution that replaced their rule, to Yellowstone and Zane Grey's stories of the west, A is for America is a sweeping tribute to all we know and love about our country. Other alphabet books filled with fun facts include: B is for Buckeye: An Ohio Alphabet, L is for Lincoln: An Illinois Alphabet, L is for Lobster: A Maine Alphabet, M is for Maple: A Canadian Alphabet, M is for Mitten: A Michigan Alphabet, S is for Sunshine: A Florida Alphabet, and V is for Volunteer: A Tennessee Alphabet. More states coming soon! It is indeed important, how America came to be. It's the idea that an individual can insist on being free. And I is for immigration and the immigrants who came from Italy, Ireland or India, we're Americans all the same. With delightful poems that beg to be read aloud, and expository text to broaden reader's reader's horizons, this American alphabet will make you fall in love with the United States over and over again. The letter X should remind us of the importance of election day, when all Americans rich and poor are allowed to have their say. Some were told they couldn't vote if they couldn't write their name. So they signed the ballot with a letter X and it counted just the same. Bright, beautifully detailed illustrations from California artist Pam Carroll bring each letter to vibrant life, from eagles and Thomas Edison to the veterans of two world wars. Celebrate all that is Americana with A is for America: An American Alphabet.
