Since Woody Guthrie wrote "This Land is Your Land" in the 1940's, it has become one of the most familiar and best-loved folk songs in America.

Now, for the first time, this classic is brought to life in a richly illustrated edition for the whole family to share. Legendary folksinger-songwriter Woody Guthrie's stirring lyrics and acclaimed folk artist Kathy Jakobsen's detailed paintings invite readers on a journey across the country, creating an unforgettable portrait of our diverse land and its people.

Featuring the complete lyrics and musical notation, as well as a biographical scrapbook and a tribute by folksinger Pete Seeger, this book is a celebration of the power of a song to move people and inspire change, passing on Guthrie's undying belief that "this land was made for you and me" to a new generation.
