Did you know the Hawkeye State got its nickname from Chief Black Hawk of the Sauk tribe? Or that D is for Des Moines, the capital with the golden dome? Or that Iowa is bordered on each side by navigable rivers, the Missouri marks the western border and the Mississippi forms its eastern border? H is for Hawkeye: An Iowa Alphabet presents these and many other interesting facts about the great state of Iowa.
H is for Hawkeye:
An Iowa Alphabet Book
The cover of Patricia’s first children’s book, H is for Hawkeye: An Iowa Alphabet, depicts her parent’s farm. Also close to her heart, the beautiful Grotto of Redemption, representing the letter G, is a must-see attraction in her childhood hometown of West Bend, Iowa.
There is more to love about Iowa than cornfields and livestock. Explore Iowa and find the National Farm Toy Museum, the Bily Clocks Museum, and Snake Alley, the world’s “crookedest” street. The birthplace of Eskimo Pies and bandleader Glenn Miller, Iowa is also where the Ringling Brothers Circus started under a clothesline tent. With lively text, engaging rhymes and appealing illustrations, Numbers in a Row: An Iowa Number Book makes the history of this great state real and relevant to children everywhere.
Numbers in a Row:
An Iowa Number Book
Numbers in a Row: An Iowa Number Book continues to showcase Iowa’s history, people, places, agriculture, and industry. With fond memories of her high school athletic days, this companion book to the alphabet book shares Iowa’s girls’ six-on-six basketball history. The beautifully illustrated pages of 8 paddlefish swimming at the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium show Pierce’s pride as a Loras College alumna and her fondness of Dubuque, Iowa.
