Hand in Hand: An American History Through Poetry

Written by Lee Bennett Hopkins and Illustrated by Peter M. Fiore

This anthology presents American history through poems from a diverse group of writers. Each poet lends a particular voice and vision to the subject. From the founding of this nation, through the Great Depression and the wars we've fought, to the issues of today, these poems echo the emotions of our triumphs and defeats. Here are all the varied people who make up America -- the different races and their various ways of facing life. Their brave spirit speaks loudly in the special language of poetry. It opens our eyes to see in a new way that which we already knew.
