Welcome to New York State! We’re glad you’re here! Children from New York and those eager to visit someday will love this lively, fact-packed picture book celebration of “The Empire State.”

From mountains and rivers to iconic cities and small towns, New York State offers endless places to discover. Young readers will meet state symbols like the eastern bluebird, learn how glaciers shaped the land, and explore famous landmarks such as Niagara Falls and the Statue of Liberty.

Warm, detailed illustrations highlight the many delights to be found throughout the state. And the easy-yet-informative details (“The 363-mile-long Erie Canal was completed in 1825 and is still used today.”) give just the right amount of information to kids from preschool on up.

Whether for travel, classroom use, or hometown pride, Welcome to New York State is the perfect keepsake for residents and visitors alike.
