Why read it?
1 author picked This Land is Your Land as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it got me to consider one of the classic, relatively modern patriotic songs in brand new ways. I knew the lyrics to the first verse and chorus of Woody Guthrie’s song, of course. I bet most adults do. But when I saw the Jakobsen illustrations, a perfect counterpoint to the lyrics, I could hear the music soaring in my mind.
I also love that by the book’s end, the lyrics that I didn’t know as well were now part of me and always would be. I have traveled widely and know how gorgeous our land…
From Jeff's list on for kids to inspire love for America.
