Liberty Lee's Tail of Independence Book

Liberty Lee's Tail of Independence

Look, right over there—oh say can you see? It's a Yankee Doodle mouse named Liberty Lee! On the 4th of July, Liberty Lee proudly tells how he and his friends helped the 13 American colonies win their freedom. For years the king of England had unfairly taxed them—he taxed their sugar, molasses, and teas. What would be next? Macaroni and cheese? Finally Liberty Lee and the other fearless colonists said enough is enough.

From the Boston Tea Party to the "shot heard 'round the world" at Lexington and Concord, Liberty Lee describes how he took part in the brave acts that won America's independence. He lends Jefferson a hand (and a tail!) in writing the Declaration of Independence. And he is there for the final American victory at Yorktown. Follow Liberty Lee and his patriot friends as they fight for the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—for people and mice everywhere!
