Our Pledge of Allegiance

by Syl Sobel

Who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance? Why was it written? What does it mean? Our Pledge of Allegiance tells the story behind the familiar words that schoolchildren learn and many recite every day. Written in clear and child-friendly language for readers in grades 3-6, the book also features children's illustrations that portray the Pledge from a child's perspective. Syl Sobel is a former newspaper reporter, a lawyer, and director of communications for a government agency. His daughters make their debut as illustrators with this book.
