A great way to learn about the history of a state. My wife loves children's books and she feel in love with this one.

Amazing book!!!!
This book is amazing! I got to meet the illustrator and he signed a copy for me! I am using this with a 3rd grade class. It's a great way to introduce the state and all it has to offer. The pictures are beautiful, and it's very interesting for children and adults alike! I would highly recommend it!
