Inhaltsangabe:

<p>Join Francis Scott Key on the choppy waters of the Chesapeake Bay in this stunning picture book that transports readers to one of the most important days in U.S. history. Gorgeous illustrations and a gripping account bring to life the perilous yet triumphant day during the War of 1812 that inspired Mr. Key to pen the words to America's national anthem. The text is brought to life by GRAMMY® nominated country music singer and songwriter Jo De Messina, who lends her powerful voice to the audio recording of the book, as well as The Star-Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful, and her personal tribute to the United States Armed Forces, Heaven was Needing a Hero, on the accompanying CD. The story, artwork, and music together will delight and inspire readers of all ages, while reminding us of the sacrifices made throughout history and today to keep America "the land of the free and the home of the brave."</p>
