Illustrated by
Megan Lloyd.
"Betsy ripped. / Rip, rip. / Seven rich, / Crimson strips. / Betsy clipped. / Clip, clip..." So begins this inventive, onomatopoeia-heavy introduction to Old Glory's creator. The text is geared to the youngest audience, but the appeal of the visual details in Lloyd's appliquéd illustrations knows no age limit. A "Make Your Own Betsy Ross Star" activity is appended.
