Dynamic pen and ink watercolor paintings give visual information for young readers studying or planning to visit the Statue of Liberty. A handsome picture book format succeeds as a vehicle for a brief history of the Statue. Material at the end of the book includes a chronology, Statue statistics, important people, interesting facts, a summary of restoration work and the full text of Emma Lazarus' poem. (Ages 4-9)

"Written for the youngest audience...the text is very simple yet manages to convey all the major events in Liberty's creation....The full-color watercolors show amazing detail and are extremely rich."--Horn Book.
