Synopsis
Describes the many kinds of freedom we have in the United States, including the freedom to vote, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech.
Joyce Rice - Children's Literature
In simple, brief passages, readers will learn what adults mean when they talk about freedom. Photographs of children of various cultural backgrounds will help the reader to understand that this freedom is available to everyone who lives in our country. The lack of freedom in other countries or cultures is not presented here. This series is designed for the beginning reader, and is coded for the parent or teacher as to the levels of skill required. Titles in this series, "United We Stand," discuss courage, freedom, justice, patriotism, tolerance and volunteering. Each volume includes an index and a glossary. This is a basic introduction to some very complicated principles, and should be included in all early childhood centers, as well as elementary libraries. 2003, SandCastle Publishing/Abdo Publishing,
