From design to dedication, this nonfiction early chapter book shows how the Statue of Liberty was engineered and built.
As a symbol of freedom and democracy, the Statue of Liberty once welcomed new immigrants to America. Today, the iron monument attracts millions of people to its island. Elementary readers will learn why France gifted the United States with a statue and how it was built in both countries. A progressive timeline highlights the construction sequence, from idea to national landmark. Carefully leveled text and historical photographs inspire future engineers and architects and support elementary STEM topics. Table of contents, glossary, index, further resources, and author bio are included.
