Ever since I first visited the Statue of Liberty as a very young child, I have been fascinated by it. When I read
Lady Liberty: A Biography, I was delighted to find, in picture book format, the dramatic story of the building of the Statue of Liberty, from the initial idea to the grand celebration upon its unveiling. Between the story and the extra information presented at the end of the book, tweens (8-12-year-olds), teens and adults will learn all about this beloved American symbol.
Lady Liberty: A Biography was written by Doreen Rappaport, illustrated by Matt Tavares, and published by
Candlewick Press. I highly recommend it. If there are other children's books about the Statue of Liberty that you like, please click on "Comments" below and share your recommendations.
