As heard on NPR's Here & Now program!
"Knowing our history is part of being a citizen . . . The book's design is as playful as Marta Sevilla's art" -- The New York Times, 'How Four Children's Picture Books See America at 250'
★ "Mihaly delivers refreshing doses of reality that will deepen any reader's understanding of our nation's complex history and values" - Booklist
★ "A visually dynamic, intellectually rigorous resource that challenges young readers to question historical narratives and recognize bias--essential for social studies curricula and media literacy instruction" - School Library Journal
"Stories can dazzle, and they can deceive. America's Founding Myths teaches young people to practice the art of asking questions -- not to shatter our national ideals, but to provide a sounder foundation for them. Because history, like Oz, is never exactly as it seems" - Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked
"Author Christy Mihaly recognizes that history without blemishes is boring and that the best way to create informed citizens is to give them the skills to confront the full record of our lives together as a not always united people." -- Robert A. Gross, author of The Minutemen and Their World and The Transcendentalists and Their World
