Beverly, MA : Frances Lincoln Children's Books, 2025. Picture Book.
This picture book is a great tribute to the fabulous land and people of America. Each of the fifty states is represented, in alphabetical order. The layout of each page features beautiful illustrations as well as a short snippet about the state. Kids who are learning about the states, or learning about geography, or learning about the alphabet could all appreciate this book.
I love books that help me travel to places I have never been. Obviously, with just a tiny summary of each state, we aren't learn everything there is possible to know, but this book does a great job sparking curiosity! I found the artwork to be very inspiring, and I think it will have a lot of kids flipping to different states just to see how they are represented here. It could also lead to great conversations about what a child would have included instead, if they were the author.
