Welcome to Litsy!

This is the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner which became our National Anthem. It is ensconced in a light- and temperature-controlled exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington DC. It is an amazing thing to experience, humbling and awe-inspiring and unforgettable. 🇺🇸 #FlagDay #JulyJam @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

A beautifully illustrated, poetically told picture-book about the 4th of July in small town America. Happy Birthday, America!
