It must have been so hard when preparing this book deciding what to include. The writer did a fantastic job with this, highlighting some beautiful and important parts of the American Southwest. The US really has a lot to offer, and even this small sampling made me wish I could go travel right now. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I recommend this for schools and libraries as it is a very clear and well-organized look at the southwest United States. It briefly touches on historical native cultures, a brief overview of the states that make up the Southwest region. It also discusses the influence of Spanish missionaries and the strong influence they have had, on both language, culture, and food.
The bright, clear photographs are a great way to learn about the southwest, and I know students will enjoy reading this book.

This was a beautiful and informative read and would be great as a gift for anyone visiting the Southwest or curious about the area.

My 6 and 4 year olds really enjoyed looking through this book. It's a short book but informative for young readers interested in the southwest region. Both the pictures and brief descriptions keep readers engaged.

After moving to Colorado and having not grown up in this country I loved learning so much about the South west. My kids enjoyed flicking through this book with me too.
I Recieved this as an ARC for my honest review.

This is an introductory book with pictures on southwest part of America. Author gave brief snap on how those places are and what were the historical facts of those places. Rocky mountains, rivers and varieties of cultural influences under different leaderships. There were national forests and grasslands. There was spanish invasion and independence from the same also.
Overall, it is a good picture book but I believe somewhere it lacks so much on the details. However, it was meant to be summarized this way only and I liked it. But for fun one thing I never get it for why horse riders in texas called cowboys not horseboys. Lol.
For me it is 4.5/5.0
