The same country that inspired Katharine Lee Bates in 1893 to write
"America the Beautiful" inspired Neil Waldman, one hundred years
later, to illustrate Bates's poem with gorgeous acrylic paintings.
Waldman's stunning panoramas take us from coast-to-coast: from Niagara
Falls to Napa's fruited plains, from Mount Rushmore to the Statue of
Liberty. In the back of the book, there is a glossary that provides
readers with more information about each site. Also included is the
sheet music for the song "America the Beautiful," combining Bates's
poem with the music of Samuel A. Ward's hymn.
Join Katharine Lee Bates and Neil Waldman as they marvel at the beauty
of our country, and celebrate its glory.
