It's Not About You, Mrs. Firecracker: A Love Letter About the True Meaning of the Fourth of July

By Soraya Diase Coffelt and David Wilson

A patriotic homage to the Fourth of July teaching children the reason behind the holiday’s booms and barbecues through a crash course in American history.

The Fourth of July is a very special American holiday and celebration. Families and friends spend fun time together and at night, beautiful fireworks are displayed for everyone to enjoy. But what actually happened on that day that causes us to remember and celebrate it for many hundreds of years? This wonderfully illustrated children’s book explains what brave Americans did to declare their freedom and equality, and identifies who was the source of guidance through it all.
