Description

Katharine Lee Bates (au); Neil Waldman (il). Following a trip to Pikes Peak, CO, in 1893, Katharine Bates was inspired to write the poem “America the Beautiful,” which was later set to the music of a familiar hymn & became one of America’s best-loved patriotic songs. Waldman was inspired to illustrate her poem. In sweeping panoramas, Neil takes us from coast to coast -- from Niagara Falls to Napa Valley’s fruited plains; from the Oregon coast to the majestic mountains of the Great Smokies & the Grand Tetons. He shows us man-made wonders, such as the portraits on Mount Rushmore & the ancient dwellings of Mesa Verde, & natural ones, like Rainbow Bridge & the Grand Canyon. This beautiful book will give young readers a sense of the varied beauty of our country.
