Narrated in lively verse, Hoorade Day! celebrates small-town parades and their messages of unity and hope.
A young girl and her parents are off to see the town’s big patriotic parade—Hoorade Day! Boosted up on daddy’s shoulders, the girl excitedly waves to her family members in the parade and joyfully describes each section. From the bleats and bangs of the marching band to the graceful twirls of the ribbon dancers, the little girl spots it all. Simple, rhyming cheers complement the bright illustrations of this diverse community.
