Classic American Education Artist and author Peter Spier, provides books that can inspire, entertain and educate both the mind of children and adults alike. His intricate drawings are full of detail and his choice of topics always serve to spark curiosity and focus youth on stories that will last with them their entire lives.
"We the People" is one of Mr.Spier's most historical and educational works, a definate classic, and I would encourage parents to seek his many other titles as well. "Noah's Ark", "People", "Bored Nothing to Do" etc.
Growing up in Shoreham, New York where Mr Spier resides, certainly was good fortune as I was able to be introduced to the works of this world class story teller and artist. Mr.Spier's works inspired me as a youngster and are books I will pass on to my own children. We could use more of such thoughtful and inspiring children's material. You cannot go wrong with any of Mr Spier's titles.
Information without overload I found this book a breath of fresh air for many reasons. I am a homeschooling mom of three children and have found that the topic of history in many books appears rather dry. This book is simply the Preamble of our Constitution with TONS of illustrations. These illustrations visually describe the Constitution much better than words ever could which makes this book appropriate for children of all ages. The pictures range from early to modern times, showing the evolution of our country and how the Constitution empowers and protects us even today. A short two page history of the Constitution as well as a copy of the original document are also included, only making this book all the more valuable to a family's library. ENJOY!
