BUYING ADVISORY: EL – ADVISABLE, MS - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Bartholdi’s dream of an epic, grand statue for his friends the Americans took the work of two countries to make it happen. Even after France did its part, however, it took America longer to get its act together.
Byrd has written a highly detailed about the history of the Statue of Liberty. The detailed info makes it best for upper elementary or even middle school. It isn’t quite as dynamic as Her Right Foot by Dave Eggers nor as accessible for younger students like Doreen Rappaport’s Lady Liberty, but if you need a new Statue of Liberty book or supplemental materials, this contains everything that anyone needs to know about the statue.
