"I Hear America" - OER Children's Book

"I Hear America" is a Creative Commons Licensed Children's Book that was created by Pikes Peak Community College's LIT 255 (Children's Literature) Spring 2019 class. The book was hand-lettered, while the illustrations are ink, colored pencil, and watercolor.

The book is modeled after Walt Whitman's famous "I Hear America Singing", and involves children imagining what it would be like when they grow up, and the symphony created by the sounds of their dreams.
