Liberty

Illustrated by Lynn Curlee

About The Book

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..."
Follow the journey of the Statue of Liberty from 1865 to today as it goes from being a mere glimmer in the eyes of two Frenchmen to becoming a colossal gift to the United States, a gesture of friendship between the two nations, a monument to the first hundred years of American independence, and a symbol of liberty for all.
