After all, it's at the heart of our country. But since it was signed in 1776, the Declaration has had as many ups and downs as the United States itself. It has been rolled up, copied, hidden away and traveled by horseback, sailing vessel, mail truck, railroad car and military tank. After being front and center of a new nation, it has escaped two British invasions and survived for more than two centuries of both peaceful times and devastating wars.What a journey! And it remains proudly the one and only Declaration of Independence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJudith St. George, author of \u003ci\u003eSo You Want to Be President\u003c\/i\u003e?, and Will Hillenbrand give readers a witty and wonderfully illustrated true story of the invincible Declaration, giving heroic testimony to the grit and determination of the country itself.A fun and fascinating way to share the history of the document that gave the American people their freedom.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudith St. George has published dozens of successful nonfiction books for children, including the Caldecott Medal-winning \u003ci\u003eSo You Want to Be President?\u003c\/i\u003e and the historical Turning Point series, including \u003ci\u003eYou're On Your Way, Teddy Roosevelt\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eStand Tall, Abe Lincoln\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eTake the Lead, George Washington\u003c\/i\u003e.
