"Constitution Day...marks the anniversary of the document's signing in 1787, after four months of strenuous debate in Philadelphia. Since 2004, public schools have been required to devote part of the day's lessons to the Constitution—to its genesis, its implementation, and to its lasting significance.
"Teachers looking to enliven the proceedings might turn to the illustrator and calligrapher Sam Fink's exuberant rendition, The Constitution of the United States of America,...the book contains every word of the Constitution, written in Fink's distinctive hand, along with boldly colored illustrations. Fink, who has also created illustrated versions of the Gettysburg Address and the Book of Exodus, is at once reverent and mischievous. Throughout, we see his gentle but strongly-felt patriotism, along with flashes of humor."
"An exquisitely designed version of this historic, revered document, Sam Fink, a multi-talented artist and calligrapher, has brought the Constitution to life with his vibrant illustrations and sometimes ironic, interpretative captions that keep us laughing, sighing, and shedding tears of wonder at the foresight of the Constitution's creators...A visually appealing book for the home or the classroom."
"The Constitution of the United States appears in an oversized presentation, is inscribed and illustrated by artist Sam Fink, and originally appeared in a larger format as a limited edition portfolio in 2006. Its reprint here offers all a fine color trade edition of a lovely art and history reference, perfect for gift-giving or inclusion in any general American history or arts holding."
