Growing up in Massachusetts and traveling the world as a military family, including ten years in Washington, D.C. made researching these illustrations even more captivating and inspiring.

"Ellis the Elephant is back and ready for another adventure in American history! In From Sea to Shining Sea, the fourth installment of Callista Gingrich’s New York Times bestselling series, Ellis explores the early years of the United States and heads west into uncharted territory with Lewis and Clark.

In previous books, Sweet Land of Liberty, Land of the Pilgrims’ Pride, and Yankee Doodle Dandy, Ellis learned about pivotal moments that have shaped America. Now, in From Sea to Shining Sea, America’s favorite time-traveling pachyderm discovers a new and growing nation along with George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea and others.

Authored by Callista Gingrich and illustrated by Susan Arciero, From Sea to Shining Sea will delight those who want to know how brave Americans forged a growing nation and spread freedom from coast to coast."

This is the book you will love to read to your grandchildren to entertain, inform and build patriotism. My 4 and 7 year old grandkids both love it. And both ask questions that lead to more learning. The resource guide is a great added bonus. Ellis makes learning fun. Don't miss this one.

Great job on your new book @callygingrich! As a mother of three, I am an avid follower of Ellis the Elephant's adventures. Our family has greatly enjoyed previous books written by Mrs. Gingrich and her latest release, From Sea To Shining Sea, did not disappoint! My children were entertained while learning about the adventures of Lewis & Clark. During a time when current events underscore our political differences, it is so important to teach our children the history and values that unite us as Americans. Ellis the Elephant brings U.S. History to life!




gives us a way to open up the conversation about the greatness of our America, and why we are here. We love to follow the "eagle" at the turn of every page, and the art is patriotic, whimsey, yet not too childish. 




Educational: I am reminded of great historical moments, which I end up later google-ing to learn more about the moment.

Entertaining: Ellis is a sweet elephant who walks through history with us.

Enriching: We add layers of information to our children, its never to early to begin the process of learning of tangible historical facts.



For parents or grandparents, its a great gift to the younger generation...and you will ENJOY the time reading this book to them.
