A unique publishing event: a book for the children of Philadelphia, illustrated by the city's public school children. In this primer, all of the city's rich history is explored: from William Penn's arrival and historic treaty with the Delaware Indians, to its unique position as the cradle of American liberty, to its food, sports, neighborhoods, and festivals. Written to reflect the breadth of Philadelphia's history, its illustrations reflect the distinct talents of its children: every illustration in P is for Philadelphia was drawn by the talented children of Philadelphia's public schools. Published to coincide with Read Across America Day 2005, this book will have the kind of impact on Philadelphia and the region that few children's books ever have, and belongs on the bedside tables of bookshelves of every child in the Delaware Valley.

Industry Reviews

"It's a fun read, and the illustrations grab your attention. The students put a lot of effort into these drawings, from the realistic depiction of the stones in Elfreth's Alley to the impressionistic view of the river as the Delaware Indians gathered there... This is collaboration at its best."-The Philadelphia Inquirer "In addition to the text being exclusively about our home, and having lots of pretty pictures, the book is special because "P is for Philadelphia" is illustrated by the children of Philadelphia."-Philadelphia Daily News "A creative and informative blend of text and art, this alphabet book celebrates much of what the city has to offer... The book is a grand tour of the city, its history, and its creative spirit... It could also serve as an inspiration for students to create similar books for any geographical area."-School Library Journal
