Celebrate the most American of holidays with best-selling author Mary Pope Osborne.  In a small town, on a hot July 4th, three generations of one family-and Bud, their dog-enjoy paraged, popcorn, tap dancing, barbecue, "Yankee Doodle," and, at the end of the day, lightning bugs to catch and let go.  Then the firewords begin, and a million pieces of gold rain down on the trees, near the flag that is still there.

While the rest of the family sleeps in the Victorian household of this rhythmic lullaby of a book, an older sister-who knows that her brother will be frightened by the windstorm raging around their seaside house-takes him on a fantasy voyage with his favorite animal, the Humpback Whale.
