Lady Liberty: Candlewick Biographies

â€œTributes to the Statue of Liberty abound, but this one stands out for its unusual approach and powerful illustrations.â€â€”Kirkus ReviewsÂ (starred review)

It begins in 1865 as a romantic idea, but ten years later Ã‰douard Laboulayeâ€™s dream catches fire. Sculptor Auguste Bartholdi gives the dream the form of a lady, holding a torch to â€œenlighten the world.â€ Engineers, plasterers, carpenters, and coppersmiths work together to turn the lady into a monument more than 100 feet tall. Doreen Rappaportâ€™s poetic vignettes and Matt Tavaresâ€™s magnificent images remind us of the origins of a national symbolâ€”and show that it took a lot of people to make the Lady.
