Overview
Sasek’s beloved 1960s children’s book exploring the state of Texas is now updated for the twenty-first century and available in a smaller format.
Like the other Sasek classics in his nostalgic children's travel series, This is Texas is a charming look at the Lone Star state. First published in 1967, Sasek rides high in the saddle, lassoing all the color and colossal span of Texas as he tours the state from Dallas, Houston, and Austin to the Alamo. From cattle, coyotes, and cowboys to its oil wells, rodeo and rattlesnakes, everything in the biggest state is bigger than anywhere else.
This Is Texas is a facsimile edition of Sasek’s original title, now in a smaller trim size. His brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved and remain true to his vision. With the passing of time, facts have been updated where applicable in the back of the book. The result is a treasure with an elegant, classic look and a delightful narrative that will charm both children and their parents, many of whom will remember the same book from their own childhood.
