Have you seen my country?
Seen my magic skies?
Seen my mighty waters?
Have you seen my land?
Have you seen my country?
Seen my wings abound?
Seen my water creatures?
Seen my beasts and fowl?
Have you seen my people?
We hail from every shore.
Have you seen my homeland?
Have you seen my country?
Have you seen my America?
In this stunning tribute to our country, Coretta Scott King Award winners Ashley Bryan and Jan Spivey Gilchrist remind us that America’s strength and beauty come from the diversity of its people, wildlife, and landscape.
