HOLIDAYS & HEROES brings to life the people whose holidays we celebrate. Enriched with colorful illustrations, photographs, and other historical images, this series will engage and involve children in the stories behind our holidays and the people they honor.

Every 4th of July, we celebrate the United States of America, the "land of the free." Learn the story of our country's beginnings and how our courageous Founding Fathers broke away from royal rule with the Declaration of Independence.
