Lady Liberty: A Biography by Doreen Rappaport


There have been many children’s books published about the Statue of Liberty but never one like this. Through free verse and illustrations that put the reader in the events, The Lady’s biography is told. Each double page spread tells of people involved in the process of bringing her to New York Harbor—from the idea, to the creation of the statue, to the pennies sent in by children across the United States to pay for her base, to the celebration of her placement. The reader will look upon The Lady with new eyes whether in New York viewing her or bringing her to the mind’s eye.
