(3) K-3 Holidays around the World series. Heiligman captures the festiveness of Independence Day, also reminding readers of its origin and relevance. She uses the inclusive "we," and her writing is clear and easy to read (though she skims over displacement of Native Americans). Plentiful photographs depict varied community celebrations. Additional facts, a recipe, a map, and a one-page essay by a history professor are included. Reading list, websites. Glos.
