This is a story of the unveiling of the Statue of Liberty told from the perspective of a boy who was chosen to relay a signal to the sculptor, Mr. Bartholdi who stood at the top of Liberty’s crown. The boy describes what he sees as all of New York is waiting in the harbor and on the island. Those waiting for the unveiling include two hundred women suffragists and the President of the United States. Also shown is the construction of the statue in France, the preparation of the island in New York Harbor, and the statue’s journey to the United States. I thought this book was very informative and could be used in a classroom to discuss where the Statue of Liberty came from and what the meaning of it is.
