Una excelente manera para que niños y niñas aprendan sobre el patriotismo, la ciudadanía, y los inmigrantes mientras una niñita y su tía abuela aprenden juntas la Promesa de Lealtad.

Yo prometo . . .
Lobo, la tía abuela de Libby, es mexicana, pero ha vivido en Estados Unidos por muchos años y quiere convertirse en ciudadana. Para ello, Lobo tendrá que recitar La Promesa de Lealtad a la Bandera en una ceremonia especial para ciudadanos nuevos. Libby también está aprendiendo La Promesa y va a dirigir a su clase a recitarla al final de la semana. Libby y Lobo deciden practicar juntas, haciéndose preguntas y compartiendo historias hasta el momento en que se hallan listas para erguirse orgullosas, con las manos sobre sus corazones.
