"A friendly reminder of how America can be at its best." –
Entertainment Weekly If you had to name a statue, any statue, odds
are good you'd mention the Statue of Liberty. Have you seen her?
She's in New York. She's holding a torch. And she's in mid-stride,
moving forward. But why? In this fascinating and fun take on
nonfiction for kids, Dave Eggers and Shawn Harris investigate a
seemingly small trait of America's most emblematic statue. What
they find is about more than history, more than art. What they find
in the Statue of Liberty's right foot is the powerful message of
acceptance that is essential of an entire country's creation. An
ideal patriotic gift for kids, this book as received accolades from
