Most of the alphabet is about the coast and especially Charleston. There is one letter about the entire upstate of South Carolina and a couple about Columbia.. "SC Grandmother" according to Retired in SC. I love, love children's books illustrated by Mary Whyte. She is one of the most talented artists ever. Mary is a SC transplant and we love having her here. She has an amazing understanding of South Carolina culture and expresses it so eloquently. We are truly blessed by her work.. Very interesting way to learn about South Carolina I really love the illustrations in this book. They are beautifully done, and the stories that go along with the pictures are short but informative. There are some terrific examples of some of South Carolina's rich, lesser known history. I would recommend this book for people with children (6-11 years old) that are studying South Carolina. We used it in a homeschool state study and found it wonderfully helpful.
