Patriot's Handbook : Songs, Poems, Stories, and Speeches Celebrating the Land We Love

Kennedy states: This book is my collage of America. It is for my children & others growing up in a world where being an American brings responsibilities as well as opportunities . . Understanding & renewing our commitment to our fundamental civic values is a process of turning & returning to the words that defined the challenges of the past, inspired generations before us, & offer renewed insight for our own time . . . As this book is intended for families, I have tried to include selections for all ages, songs & poems that appeal to children, speeches that helped turn the tide of history, judicial opinions that transformed our society, images that capture America's sense of self at a particular time, & expressions of personal yet universal truths.Ó B&W photos.Kennedy, Caroline is the author of 'Patriot's Handbook : Songs, Poems, Stories, and Speeches Celebrating the Land We Love', published 2006 under ISBN 9781422354551 and ISBN 1422354555.
