For America's 100th Birthday, the people of France were building a giant gift!
It would be one of the largest statues the world had ever seen - weighing nearly as much as 40 elephants! But Lady Liberty arrived on our shores in 350 pieces. And she could not be put together without a pedestal to hold her up. Few of America's millionaires were willing to foot the bill. And without funds for a pedestal, Lady Liberty would remain trapped in her crates, scattered about Bedloe's Island.
Could everyday Americans - including schoolchildren - collect enough pennies
to help Liberty rise?Chana Stiefel's charming narrative and Chuck Groenink's playful illustrations highlight an inspiring story about the unstoppable spirit of America - and what we can accomplish when everyoneworks together!
