Travel across the diverse state of Alabama and meet its famous sons and daughters, from legendary football coach Bear Bryant to the remarkable Helen Keller and civil rights activist Rosa Parks. Visit landmarks such as the Bellingrath Home, or stop by Landmark Park and see how a farm was run in the 1890s. Written in the popular two-tier format for the "Discover America State by State" series, with simple rhymes for younger children and expository text for older children, "Y is for Yellowhammer" is a delightful tour of the state of Alabama.
