Nice gift for a little girl

I paired this with a MA Doll of Betsy Ross I got off ebay. Together, they made a sweet x-mas gift. I am sure the parents were delighted.

EXCELLENT

I READ THIS BOOK TO MY 7 YEAR OLD SHE LOVES BETSY ROSS EVER SINCE SHE WENT TO HER HOUSE IN PHILADELPHIA. SHE REALLY LOVED THIS BOOK AS WELL DID I IT WAS VERY WELL PUT AND IT MADE YOU REALLY GET CLOSE TO A LOT OF THE EVENTS THAT SHAPED OUR COUNTRY!!! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY CHILD EXPLORING THE HISTORY AROUND US!!!

In the spring of 1776, George Washington stopped at Betsy Ross's little upholstery shop and asked her to sew a flag-- a flag that would unite the thirteen colonies in their fight for independence from Great Britain.

In Judith St. George's detailed account, Betsy Ross emerges as a strong and spirited woman. Her independent streak led her to marry outside her Quaker faith and served her well throughout her life: widowed three times and the mother of seven daughters, she maintained her own business for more than fifty years.

Here is the inspiring story of one of the courageous and self-reliant women who shaped American history: the "patriot of Philadelphia" who created the banner that helped unite the nation.
