About the book
The poem, "What America Is" was written in 1984 for a contest
sponsored by the Vienna Junior Woman's Club. Additional information about
our American heritage is included in the book as a learning tool for
children ages five to 101.
Excerpt:
It's a query quite worthy of such a young lad:
"Just what is America Dad"?
In his father's heart the reply is plain
yet putting in words is hard to explain.
Dad ponders the asking of this child of his,
says," This my son is what America is."
