Fireworks, Picnics, and Flags: The Story of the Fourth of July Symbols by
James Cross Giblin, Ursula Arndt (Illustrator)
This spirited look at our national birthday explores the stories behind
the familiar symbols of the Fourth of July and tells how they have come
to be associated with the holiday. It will make the fourth of july more
meaningful for readers young and old. James Cross Giblin is an editor
of children's books who also writes for children. He edited the Clarion
holiday series started by the late Edna Barth. Ursula Arndt brings to
this book the same delightful style she employed as illustrator of the
six Barth holiday books. This title, along with all of Edna Barth's classic
holiday books, is now being reissued with a fresh, new jacket design
and fun activities inside the paperback covers.
