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 this new edition also includes a list of behind-the-scenes details about the pictures in the book compiled by Woody's daughter Nora Guthrie. 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.
