I have always enjoyed history. Learning about the past has never failed to fascinate me. It is crucial that children are well educated on this topic as well! Lynne Cheney's "We the People" presents the story of our Constitution. Illustrated by Greg Harlin, this book really makes it easy to understand the process of how our Constitution came to be. It wasn't an easy process by any means! Mrs. Cheney's story-telling is enhanced by Greg Carlin's dramatic artwork. This book is not age appropriate for very young children, but will most definitely enhance any family's home library!
Trying to teach students about our constitution is a very difficult thing to accomplish. Many times, the activities or stories can be very boring for the children. With Lynne Cheney's We The People, it changes the game in my class. My students love the story so much, you can hear a pin drop. I've had requests for it to be read again and again. Ms. Cheney writes in a way that keeps my students engaged and learning at the same time. I don't get that response for very many books. This is a book that should be in every classroom.
Lynne Cheney’s We the People: The Story of Our Constitution paints a realistic picture of how our constitution was crafted. Peppering the story with quotes from the framers and their associates, the reader understands how much the framers endured to ensure the freedoms and liberties of their fellow Americans. It is wonderful to see a book that addresses this momentous time in our nation’s history and dispels any confusion about how our country was formed. Best selling author and historian Cheney carefully explains how the many years of unrest in the newly formed country led to the Constitution. Moreover, Greg Harlin’s paintings visually set the stage for young readers. The breadth of information will not intimidate children, especially when they learn that George Washington took a break from his work to go fishing! I think We the People is a fantastic way to get your children interested in our nation’s history. And more importantly, it can show them how tirelessly our founders worked to give us the precious freedoms we enjoy each day.
WE THE PEOPLE book is a wonderful version of how our Constitution came to be. I really love how suitable this book is for children. Children get the opportunity to find a out the wonderful world of history. I simply love the illustrations. Children not only get sucked into the book by the story but also the images. This book is a must have to have in their library. It's also wonderful to have at school. Education is key and this book is the gateway.
As a mother I feel it is important to find ways to start teaching our children about our country's history. To value what we have in the US, it is necessary to see what it took to get here. Lynne Cheney's We the People is a must read with your children! The story of is a great way to get a behind the scenes look at how our Constitution came to be. It also shows how it can be a living document. With changes such as women's right to vote, our children learn that we must keep up with the world around us...things must not remain stagnant. I also love that a portion of this book's proceeds are being donated to charity. Another great lesson!

Now in paperback, Lynne Cheney’s New York Times bestselling illustrated history of how the Constitution came to be. “I am mortified beyond expression when I view the clouds which have spread over the brightest morn that ever dawned upon any country.” —George Washington
America had won the Revolution, but our troubles were far from over. The thirteen states were squabbling, the country could not pay its bills, and in Massachusetts farmers had taken up arms against the government. Was our country, which had fought so hard for its independence, going to survive?
In May 1787 delegates from across the country—including George Washington, James Madison, and Benjamin Franklin—gathered in Philadelphia and, meeting over the course of a sweltering summer, created a new framework for governing: the Constitution of the United States. Their efforts turned a shaky alliance of states into a nation that would prosper and grow powerful, drawing its strength for centuries to come from “We the people” and inspiring hope for freedom around the world.
Now in paperback for the first time, this richly illustrated tale of a crucial point in our nation’s history will enthrall readers young and old.
