The first verse of the patriotic anthem (unattributed to Katharine Lee Bates here) is presented on double-page spreads that feature Sabuda's signature pop-up illustrations. Readers will be awed by the intricately crafted cutouts depicting the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Rushmore, a Mississippi River steamship, and the Statue of Liberty. Rendered mostly in pure white, Sabuda's paper creations have an enduring, classic quality.
