America: A Patriotic Primer Hardcover - 2002
by Lynne Cheney; Robin Preiss Glasser (Illustrator)
This picture book introduction to the founding principles of our country is written by the wife of Vice-President Cheney. More than an alphabet book, it is a primer of American history and a celebration of faith and diversity. Full color.
Summary
America: A Patriotic Primer is a succinct history of the United States, an ABC of the principles on which this country was 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 choose 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 recent history firsthand. Illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser imbues Mrs. Cheney's words with childlike joy through her exuberant drawings. Together they have 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 America frames the story -- and the miracle -- of our country.
