This children’s book is based off the 1848 definition of the word "Patriotism." Infuse the word "American," and the reader will obtain a grasp of what it truly means to be an American Patriot. Being an American Patriot is about citizenry, good will, kindness, forgiveness, passion, and so much more. While the messages within this book are meant for our youth, it transitions as a tool for not only children but for adults alike facing everyday trials and tribulations. Masterfully illustrated, this children’s book is easy to comprehend. Most importantly, with the assistance and encouragement from family members, this book is sure to bring back America’s civil societal roots long after its readings through continued and ongoing dialog. There is no better time than today to bring back civil, loving, and peaceful unification to this great nation. American Patriotism is meant to assist in doing just that.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

"Kerry Patton's lovely children's book allows kids to understand that patriotism transcends political labels--a message I wish more adults would try to disseminate. The illustrations are stunning. Knowing they were done by a 16 year old is mind blowing, what a talent!"
Lisa Ling. TV Personality/Oprah Winfrey Network

"A refreshing, simple-to-understand book with insightful illustrations for the youth of America who can use its thoughtful messages to be 'patriots' in their own lives each and every day."
Joe Peters. Radio Show Host-Tough Talk With Joe Peters

"THIS IS A-POLITICAL! This book offers the reader the opportunity to consciously decide who they want to be. What does it mean to be an American? Read this to your children and awaken their sense of self.

Provide them the opportunity to understand how to interpret some of the key definitions and premises within the book, in a manner which develops compassion, non-judgment and embraces diversity. After all, we are all different and it's only through dialogue we can truly understand, gain power through removing fear, and embrace the opportunity, which knowledge brings us.

Leadership begins, by leading yourself! Empower your child to do just that.
And, when you do, you will be leading our next generation of American's, to lead themselves, so that they may lead others - where they want them to go!

American Patriotism is a book for children and a lesson for adults!

Children's intro to America's Purpose

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2011

Verified Purchase

Excellent piece of work! I purchased four of these, two my my niece and nephews, one for my daughter who is 5 and donated 1 to her kindergarten class for this year. This book is a great introduction to America's heritage and why this country remains free. With my husband serving his third tour in Afghanistan and me continuing on in the national guard, we remind our children daily of the sacrifices we make to allow this country to remain free. I highly recommend this book as a reminder for all adults as to where we all came from and how we must continue to stay strong and carry on the values which made this country what it is today!

Hawkins is hardly an American patriot but an anti-government radical

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2013

Hawkins is a Mennonite child of a WW2 draft dodging Nazi sympathizer--Calling these authors patriots is calling Mao an American Hero. Someone really needs to vet these things
