It is perfect for patriotic holidays or when a child asks, What is America? Through Karma Wilson's rhythmic verse, children see the landscape, the people, and the ideals of the United States tossed together like ingredients in a giant mixing bowl. It emphasizes that a nation is built from more than just land: it is crafted from purple mountain majesties, diverse cultures, and a spirit of freedom. It is a gentle, optimistic introduction to civic pride for children aged 4 to 8.
