**An inspiring and patriotic tribute to the beauty of the American flag,
a symbol of America's history, landscape, and people, illustrated by
New York Times bestselling and Caldecott-honor winning artist Kadir
Nelson
**
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.
