    Celebrate America’s Independence Day with the bestselling The Night Before picture book series that puts an uplifting spin on a classic poem! The perfect way to introduce little ones to the Fourth of July, just in time for America’s 250th birthday!

    “T’was the night before July 4th
    And all across the USA,
    Americans were gearing up
    For Independence Day.”

    Join one festive family as they prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July! Follow along as they dress up in red, white, and blue, attend a patriotic parade, and invite family over for a celebratory barbecue. But after a rainstorm sends the party inside, everyone begins to worry that they won’t get to see their favorite July 4th holiday tradition—the fireworks show!

    With colorful illustrations and irresistible rhyming text, this cheerful picture book is the perfect read-aloud, and captures all the fun, excitement, and pride of America’s Independence Day.
