Biographies are usually about people, not statues. However, in this beautifully illustrated book, the author tells the story of the creation of the Statue of Liberty through the point of view of those who conceived, built and financed Lady Liberty as well as the immigrants welcomed by her presence. A timeline and fact sheet accompanies Rappaport’s extensively researched text and Tavares’ lovely illustrations of the construction of Lady Liberty.
