Wallner's text and illustrations are masterful! Simply told, this story will teach kids all about Betsy Ross and the legend behind her creation of our nation's greatest symbol. An author's note provides some background about conflicting stories in history regarding her life. Wonderful!

This book is very informational. I did not know of her background, only that she was responsible for making our country's flag. I think that children would be surprised, just as I was, to learn of her history.

I bought this for my second-grader because she had to do a report on
a famous American. The pictures were great, but it had a lot of information
in it that she wasn't familiar with yet such as "Quakers", "Colonists", etc.
I was looking for a very elementary intro to Betsy Ross, but this was
a little too old for her. I read it to her, but since she hasn't studied
the revolution, colonial America, etc. it was over her head and she thought
it was boring. The pictures are great and it would be perfect for a child in
at least third grade....or any child who understands a little about the founding
of our country.

This is a kid-friendly book for introducing the life and contributions of Betsy Ross. It is written as an easy-to-understand story, and the illustrations and interesting facts really grab children's attention. I would highly recommend this book for any grade level.
