A unique publishing event: a book for the children of Philadelphia, illustrated by the city's public school children. In this primer, all of the city's rich history is explored: from William Penn's arrival and historic treaty with the Delaware Indians, to its unique position as the cradle of American liberty, to its food, sports, neighborhoods, and festivals. Written to reflect the breadth of Philadelphia's history, its illustrations reflect the distinct talents of its children: every illustration in P is for Philadelphia was drawn by the talented children of Philadelphia's public schools. Published to coincide with Read Across America Day 2005, this book will have the kind of impact on Philadelphia and the region that few children's books ever have, and belongs on the bedside tables of bookshelves of every child in the Delaware Valley.
