Table of ContentsReviewsFinally, here's a picture book that helps young children move beyond rote recitation of the Pledge to find meaning in its language. This is the book parents and teachers have been waiting for. Author InformationMichael Sampson says, I have a deep love for this country and the Pledge - I get goose bumps every time I recite it. This book makes the Pledge come alive for kids with language they can understand. Dr. Sampson is the author of many books for children, as well as books about literacy for adults. <br>Chris Raschka is the illustrator of many books, including the concrete poetry anthology A POKE IN THE I, edited by Paul B. Janeczko, a NEW YORK TIMES Best Illustrated Children's Book; and the Caldecott Honor Book YO! YES? Chris Raschka says, My parents have always respectfully refused to recite the Pledge of Allegiance - my father for religious reasons and my mother because she was born in Vienna. And that's why I was drawn to this project. In America, we each have the freedom to choose, including the freedom to choose whether or not to say the Pledge.
