Bold pastel images on paper featuring dramatic perspectives of the statue's creation and the seaside it graces make this an intriguing tale about Lady Liberty.

The narrative is a bit long and somewhat dry, so I would recommend the book to older children, especially those who want to learn more about the history of the statue.

I appreciate that the end of the book contains a time line with additional history and facts about our iconic beacon of freedom. The poem by Emma Lazarus is included, as well as a list of books for 'further reading.'
