An inspiring tribute to the beauty and meaning of the American flag, a
symbol of America's history and people, illustrated by New York Times
bestselling and Caldecott-honor winning artist Kadir Nelson--now
available with text in Spanish and English.
Wonderfully spare, deceptively simple verses pair with richly evocative
paintings to celebrate the iconic imagery of our nation, beginning with
the American flag. Each spread, sumptuously illustrated by award-winning
artist Kadir Nelson, depicts a stirring tableau, from the view of the
Statue of Library at Ellis Island to civil rights marchers shoulder to
shoulder, to a spacecraft at Cape Canaveral blasting off. This book is
an ode to America then and now, from sea to shining sea, and is now
accessible to a much larger audience in this bilingual edition.
