<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>"Tributes to the Statue of Liberty abound, but this one stands out for its unusual approach and powerful illustrations."<i>--</i></b><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> (starred review)</b> <p/>It begins in 1865 as a romantic idea, but ten years later Édouard Laboulaye's dream catches fire. Sculptor Auguste Bartholdi gives the dream the form of a lady, holding a torch to "enlighten the world." Engineers, plasterers, carpenters, and coppersmiths work together to turn the lady into a monument more than 100 feet tall. Doreen Rappaport's poetic vignettes and Matt Tavares's magnificent images remind us of the origins of a national symbol--and show that it took a lot of people to make the Lady.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A beautiful, innovative volume.<br>--School Library Journal (starred review) <p/>Heartfelt...adds up to a stirring reminder of what Lady Liberty stands for.<br>--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) <p/>Large in scale and monumental in effect.<br>--Booklist (starred review) <p/>Poignant and captivating portrait.<br>--The Horn Book (starred review) <p/>Striking illustrations...monumental subject matter.<br>--Washington Post Book World <p/>A reverent and passionate portrait.<br>--San Francisco Chronicle<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Doreen Rappaport has written many books for young readers, including an acclaimed trilogy about the African-American experience: NO MORE!, FREE AT LAST!, and NOBODY GONNA TURN ME 'ROUND, all illustrated by Shane W.
