By Jean Fritz ● Pictures by Tomie dePaola
The summer of 1787 was hot, secretive, and full of arguments. Behind closed doors in Philadelphia, delegates from the states tried to create a plan strong enough to hold a new country together. Jean Fritz turns the Constitutional Convention into a lively nonfiction story, showing famous figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison alongside the disagreements that made the work so difficult. Tomie dePaola’s illustrations add humor and personality, helping readers see the Constitution as something people debated, revised, and struggled to finish. The book is an inviting way to understand how government is built, why compromise matters, and why the words written that summer still matter.
