Here's a patriotic book for little hearts!

The book features an all-color snapshot of 4th of July celebrations in an unnamed town. Each page describes different people, from Baby Lily to Mr. Jonas, a veteran and their preparations for this national holiday honoring USA’s birthday – all of it in rhyme. There's also a dog, Rags, who weaves in and out of every one's homes. 

Excerpt

Lisa practices her twirling.

Luis salutes the flag unfurling.
