"Shoulder seat / Thumping beat / July 4th drums down the street." This celebratory ode to Independence Day uses rhyming couplets and tercets to illustrate the traditional ways the holiday is commemorated. Cut-paper collages reflecting the many ethnicities and backgrounds of the American population depict parades, beach parties, picnics, and fireworks displays. A cheerfully festive introduction to the Fourth of July.
