One Today Reviews

*"Richard Blanco is a graceful wordsmith, and Pilkey transforms his poem into a story that children can make their own."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
*"There are themes, motifs, and details that will make this a book to be read and reread, or simply looked at--for the images tell many stories too."--Booklist, starred review
*"When it was read, the poem was instantly acclaimed; Pilkey's visual interpretation fully--and joyfully--honors it."--Kirkus, starred review

The fullness of our multicultural society on display in this remarkable read can lead to talk about how the United States exemplifies the words on our national seal...."--Los Angeles Times
"A special historic moment, caught in lyrical words and joyous illustrations...."
--School Library Journal

"I'm honored that Richard Blanco will join me and Vice President Biden at our second Inaugural. His contributions to the fields of poetry and the arts have already paved the path forward for future generations of writers. Richard's writing will be wonderfully fitting for an Inaugural that will celebrate the strength of the American people and our nation's great diversity."
--President Barack Obama

"Illustrations are full-color and bright, with strong hues, great perspective, and simplicity, to highlight and accurately reflect the theme. The text and illustrations can be used for a variety of activities and instruction."--School Library Connection
