Experience the events that shaped the USA from earliest times to present day, as if it were all breaking news! Newspaper-style features bring history to life - from articles reporting events as they unfold to obituaries of key figures, recipes, inventions and more. Live through the events that shaped America, including the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Civil Rights movement and the September 11 attacks. Experience America's fun and playful side, too, from the invention of bubble gum to the wonderous debut of Mickey Mouse. And learn about some unexpected and lesser-known sides of American history, like teen hero Sybil Ludington's ride during the American Revolution and the Navajo Nation's response to the Covid-19 pandemic. A running timeline and special context boxes support readers' understanding of how episodes in America's past have influenced its present day and its future.

Developed in collaboration with The Washington Post and with QR codes linking to Post podcasts and archival resources, this book is a powerful and compelling commemoration of the 250th birthday of the USA. It is the perfect book to meet this moment in history and bring families together to see how history is unfolding as we watch.
