Going to a fireworks display is a popular way to celebrate the Fourth of July, but why is that? And why do we use July 4 as the day to honor United States independence? These and many other questions about the history of the Fourth of July are answered for curious readers in this fun, patriotic volume. Historical images and full-color photographs correlate closely with the text, showing the Founding Fathers and modern July 4th events. Written especially for beginning readers, the main content provides just the right amount of historical context and supports early elementary social studies curricula.
