Description

America: A Patriotic Primer is a succinct history of the USA, an ABC of the principles on which this country used to be founded, and a book for children and families to pore over, discuss, and cherish.
A is for America,
the land that we love.
B is for the Birthday
of this country of ours….
To make a choice the twenty-six people and ideas that comprise the book, Lynne Cheney has drawn on a lifetime of learning about the American past, and on the inspiration that comes from witnessing up to date history firsthand. Illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser imbues Mrs. Cheney’s words with childlike joy through her exuberant drawings. Together they have got created a patriotic primer, a book that teaches history by celebrating the diversity, tenacity, and faith of the American people.

This A to Z of The united states frames the story — and the miracle — of our country.
Written by Lynne Cheney, creator and wife of Vice President Richard Cheney, to honor this “beautiful land made more beautiful still by our commitment to freedom,” America: A Patriotic Primer is a proud celebration of the individuals, milestones, and principles of this nation. Each and every busy spread features elaborately decorated letters of the alphabet, with one or two kids draped over its bars and loops, along side the highlighted concept or person: “N is for Native Americans, who came here first,” “T is for Tolerance.” Surrounding each letter is a veritable circus of entertaining and useful related information, illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser (Alexander, Who’s Not (Do You Hear Me? I Mean It!) Going to Move). “J is for Jefferson,” for example, is bordered with biographical details and quotations from Thomas Jefferson, whilst mini images depict the third president’s famous home (Monticello), some of his inventions, and a description of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. This compelling picture book will work best as a supplement for children who are already immersed in basic American history at school. Teachers and parents will enjoy exploring with their kids each inch of the detailed, hand-drawn and illustrated U.S. map found in “U is for United States,” explaining and elaborating on the historical lessons as appropriate.
