This is our constitution: Discover America with a Gold Star Father

Khan, Khizr. (2017). This is our constitution: Discover America with a Gold Star Father. New York: Penguin Random House LLC. 224 pages. Grade 5-6, politics/ government, ISBN 978-1524770914.

The constitution is the most important document of the process of the foundation of America, it shapes many of the laws that are set today in America, and it is the reason why the United States is praised about their government system to many other people in different countries. The author of this book-- Khizr Khan. Who emigrated from Pakistan to the United States, and wrote the book. He writes about the history of the making of the constitution. He writes about the different articles and sections that make up the constitution and why it matters. It would lead you to be grateful for all the support and opportunities that you have in the United States.

This book is a Kid-Friendly book. The original constitution is rate hard to read a and understand, but the author made it simpler to read. Therefore, it would be easier for the children to understand the constitution with this book. They would also learn about the many freedoms that they have in the United States and learn to not take those freedoms that they have for granted! They also include the history of the implementation of the different amendments that America has, they were also interesting for me to know about.
