The Statue of Liberty was conceived many years ago in the late 1800s, but its meaning - of unity, of welcome, of acceptance - has never been more relevant than today. This moving, profound book, a companion to This Bridge Will Not Be Gray, tells the story of one of the most significant architectural triumphs in the world: the Statue of Liberty. It's a story that begins with one man's idea for the statue and continues through its creation on both sides of the Atlantic as a team of visionaries join hands to build this monument to freedom. It's a story of humanity. A story of inclusion. A story of taking risks, of welcoming immigrants, of action and courage. A story that is meaningful, personal, and real - and beyond important. It's a story of America, as only Dave Eggers could tell it. Recommended for ages 6 to 9. Final sale - no returns.
