America the Beautiful: Lyrics by Katharine Lee Bates Illustrated by Susan Winget

America the Beautiful was written by children's author Katharine Lee Bates in 1893 as she looked across the vast expanse of the Rocky Montains and the Great Plains while climbing Pikes Peak. This full-color children's music and patriotic gift book features the lyrics of our beloved second national anthem, with illustrations of wagon trains, sailing ships, marching bands, homesteads, main streets, and American eagles, all telling the story behind the song. Ideal for commemorating Memorial Day, Independence Day, and other patriotic American holidays.
