Shh! We're Writing The Constitution by Jean Fritz Illustrator Tomie dePaola
 
Award-winning author Fritz takes readers behind the scenes at the Constitutional Convention for a good-humored history lesson, enlivened by dePaola's quirky illustrations. This factual gem, written with Jean Fritz's humorous touch, chronicles the hot summer of 1787 where fifty-five delegates, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, James Madison among them, from thirteen states huddled together in the strictest secrecy in Philadelphia to draw up the constitution of the United States that would unify their states while preserving their sovereignty! A copy of the Constitution is included in the back of the book.
