Libby's great-aunt Lobo emigrated from Mexico when she was a young girl and has called the United States her home for many years. Lobo has just taken her U.S. citizenship test, and at the end of the week, she will say the Pledge of Allegiance at a special ceremony.

Libby is also learning the Pledge, with her classmates. At the end of the week, she will stand up in front of everyone and lead the class in reciting the Pledge.

So Libby and Lobo practice together—sharing questions, stories, and memories—until they both stand tall and proud, with their hands over their hearts.

In their first collaboration, award winning author Pat Mora and her daughter Libby Martinez, together with acclaimed illustrator Patrice Barton, have crafted an informative look at the Pledge of Allegiance and a warm and lively story of heritage, family, and patriotism across generations.
