Mary Pope Osborne celebrates July 4th, the most American of holidays, with a warm family story. Three generations enjoy parades, popcorn, "Yankee Doodle," and at the end of the day, lightning bugs and fireworks. "Then I blow out the stars, as if they were candles on a giant birthday cake"--a glorious image in Peter Catalanotto's glowing and buoyant watercolors.
Here is another with the same title and some activities to go along - http://www.marshachall.com/activity/happy.html For an old-fashioned parade, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxGbzMtGYfw
