What's This Book About
Now the littlest readers can learn about how the Statue of Liberty came to be–and what it means to people all over the world.

Simple words and bright artwork bring to life the story of the people–a professor, a sculptor, a poet, a newspaperman–who helped establish this famous landmark. Little ones will learn that the torch was created first, in time for America’s 100th birthday, and displayed in a park.

Fun facts, such as how schoolchildren gave their pennies to help pay for the base of the statue, complete this charming nonfiction Little Golden Book.
