How Did America Become the Sweet Land of Liberty?

America is an exceptional country.

You know it, we know it, but do our children and grandchildren know it?

Featuring Ellis, a cuddly and curious elephant who is on a quest to discover why America is exceptional, Sweet Land of Liberty helps kids learn about the amazing challenges Americans have overcome in the past and why our nation is the land of the free and home of the brave.

Taking children with him on a journey to discover the pivotal events and people that helped shape our nation, Ellis the Elephant teaches children about the pivotal moments that have shaped our nation's unique history, including:
