Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This sparkling tribute to the Fourth of July depicts how a family of eight living in a small town celebrates this favorite holiday. . . . The day is made up of little things, while the celebration is about big ones—community, freedom, and pride. Catalanotto's watercolor palette lends a candlelike glow to scenes as the expressive faces of kids and adults enjoy the occasion.” —Booklist

“A surprisingly emotional story. Catalanotto's watercolors evoke summer.” —Kirkus Reviews

“. . . a nostalgic recollection of a small-town Fourth of July celebration. Food, fun, and family fill the day . . . an agreeable slice of life.” —School Library Journal
