First-time author Amy Winstead skilfully weaves a historically accurate, yet fictional account of Francis Scott Key and the British bombarding of Fort McHenry. The story is told from the perspective of a young boy and his brother who accidentally became ensnared in the intrigue of the historic night and culminates in the writing of our national anthem. Dramatic and rich watercolour illustrations, accurate to the smallest detail, bring the action to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-read book for teachers!,
By Paul and Dawn Cox (Madrid, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Star-Spangled Banner (Hardcover)
If you haven't bought this book yet, you're missing a wonderful chance to help your children understand part of our nation's history. While beautifully illustrated, the story is what Amy's book is all about. It can be difficult to locate history books which appeal to children. Amy has written one that will create among children an interest in learning about an important chapter in our country's history. We can't wait for her second book!
