My Country, 'Tis of Thee: How One Song Reveals the History of Civil Rights by Claire Rudolf Murphy

4.0

This picture book will be a great addition to the middle school library. It's bibliography alone shows the research. It tells a wonderful story (factual story) of a song and it's variations to serve people in despair, rejoice or unity. It encourages the reader to write their own verse. Great cross curricular activity.
