My America: A Poetry Atlas of the United States

LeVar and a troupe of youngsters, who share their part of the USA, bring a map of the United States to life as this adventure explores America’s beauty and diversity. We visit Erica, age 12 who lives on the family ranch in Montana, and ten year-old Stephen who lives in New York City – showing how being a kid in America is as varied as the 50 states that form this country.
