On the Fourth of July, when the cookouts are over and the pool gates are closed, families will walk from their houses, parade into town, and look to the stars. Surrounded by neighbors and friends, they will watch the fireworks show as it glitters and sparkles and paints the sky in celebration!
This energetic, evocative picture book from Maggie Rudd, with sparkling illustrations from Elisa Chavarri, is a joyous ode to summertime and tradition.
