The Story of America's Birthday is a short, and nicely illustrated children's board book by Patricia Pingry that tells in simple language, the story of America's Independence from King George and England. It's not supposed to be a detailed, (or even historically accurate) account, but gives a general overview of why Americans celebrate the 4th of July. It's general purpose is to help generate conversation about that important day in American history, so that children can begin to feel the importance of freedom, as we are truly one of the only "free" countries in the world. It is designed as a general overview to hopefully generate a curiosity about country and our freedom.
Overall, I think it carried off it's intended goal.
