Presidents' Day / Día de los Presidentes
American Holidays / Celebraciones en los Estados Unidos
Presidents' Day was begun as a holiday to honor George Washington, the first president of United States. The holiday has since been expanded to celebrate the lives and achievements of all of America's commanders-in-chief. Accessible bilingual texts explain the holiday's origins and offer fun facts about the holiday and its honorees. Photographs illustrate both the history behind the holiday and the contemporary celebrations of it.
