Children’s Books for the 4th of July

If you ask, most people will tell you their favorite holiday after Christmas is Halloween… but not this mama!

The 4th of July is my personal favorite — to me it’s all about community, summer and sharing our heritage as Americans, no matter our background.

4TH OF JULY BOOKS FOR KIDS

The Fourth of July Story

An accessible story of America’s birthday brings alive the history and spirit of the Fourth of July, with an introduction to the fight for independence and the events and people that shaped American tradition.

What happened on the Fourth of July long before there were fireworks and parades?

Alice Dalgliesh takes young readers back to revolutionary times, back to the colonists’ desire for freedom and the creation of the Declaration of Independence.

Simple text captures the excitement of the era, telling how word of Independence traveled up and down the thirteen colonies, touching the lives of everyday people throughout the land.

Like all of Alice Dalgliesh’s work, The Fourth of July Story remains an American classic.

The Berenstain Bears God Bless Our Country

The Bear family and their Bear Country neighbors celebrate the Fourth of July with a big parade.

But not before the cubs get a lesson about the blessings of freedom for their country.

Apple Pie Fourth Of July

Shocked that her parents are cooking Chinese food to sell in the family store on an all-American holiday, a feisty Chinese American girl tries to tell her mother and father how things really are.

But as the parade passes by and fireworks light the sky, she learns a surprising lesson.

The Night Before the Fourth of July

t’s the night before the Fourth of July and all across the United States people are getting ready for hot dogs and fireworks.

Decked in red, white, and blue, a family heads to a parade, hosts a backyard BBQ with friends and family, dodges an afternoon thundershower, and of course, watches a fireworks show.

F Is for Flag

June 14 is Flag Day, but with so many American flags proudly displayed, every day seems like Flag Day.

Perfect for reading together with a young child, F Is for Flag shows in simple terms how one flag can mean many things: a symbol of unity, a sign of welcome, and a reminder that-in good times and in bad-everyone in our country is part of one great big family.

Story Of Americas Birthday

Parents can use this book to introduce little ones to the history and meaning behind Independence Day.

This little book presents the story of the founding of America in words that are simple enough for a toddler to understand.

Vibrant illustrations paired with the text help to create the connection between the story of the Declaration of Independence and American Revolution and today’s Fourth of July festivities.

A is for America

From the British and our Constitution that replaced their rule, to Yellowstone Park and Zane Grey’s stories of the west, “A is for America” is a sweeping tribute to all we know and love about our country.

With delightful poems that beg to be read aloud, and expository text to broaden a student’s horizons, this American alphabet will make you fall in love with the United States over and over again.

Bright, beautifully detailed illustrations from California artist Pam Carroll bring each letter to life, from eagles to Thomas Edison to the veterans of two World Wars.

You're a Grand Old Flag: A Patriotic Book based on the Classic Song

Celebrate America’s Independence day with this short book and use it as a teaching tool to share the song and images of the flag with children for the Fourth of July.

The lyrics this patriotic classic are combined with stunning photographs of the American flag and displays of USA pride.

With one line on each page, people of all ages will enjoy singing the song while looking at the images.

America the Beautiful

From his unique perspective as the great, great grandnephew of “America the Beautiful” writer, Katharine Lee Bates, Chris Gall transforms this beloved patriotic song into monumental works of art–from purple mountain majesties to gleaming alabaster cities.

Honoring his ancestry and national pride, Gall pairs the beautiful lyrics with striking illustrations of notable American images such as Pike’s Peak, the Tuskgee Airmen, and firefighters raising the American flag at Ground Zero.
