The Statue of Liberty by Lucille Rectht Penner and illustrated by Jada Rowland, published in 1995 is a Step into Reading - A Step 1 Book Preschool-Grade 1. "All over the world, people dream of coming to America. When they arrive, someone special is waiting for them. She stands in New York Harbor, lighting the way. Read all about her!"
Liberty! by Allan Drummond published in 2002 - from the front book jacket, "On October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty - a gift from France to honor America's ideals of liberty and freedom - was unveiled in New York Harbor. Allan Drummond tells the story of that day as seen through the eyes of a boy who was chosen to relay a signal to the sculptor, Mr. Bartholdi, who stood way up in Liberty's crown. As the boy's anticipation builds, he describes all of New York waiting - in the harbor and on the island - including two hundred women suffragists and the President of the United States. In detailed vignettes, we see the construction of the statue in France, the preparation of the island in New York Harbor, and the statue's steamship voyage. Through rhythmic, evocative prose and energetic pen-and-wash illustrations, we are made to feel the excitement of those gathered to see Liberty's face for the first time, and to remember all that she represents."
Liberty's Journey by Kelly DiPucchio and illustrated by Richard Egielski, published in 2004, from the front book jacket, " Lady Liberty has welcomed immigrants to New York for more than one hundred years - but she's never traveled beyond her island. She's curious to see the country that has become home to the millions who have passed beneath her torch. So one foggy morning, the giant Lady tiptoes off her pedestal and begins her journey. Down alleyways, along railroad tracks, through cities and small towns, across deserts, and over mountains, she greets surprised and delighted Americans. The country is as captivating as Lady Liberty knew it would be, but New Yorkers miss her terribly. How can they persuade her to come home where she belongs? In some of the most stunning work of his career, Richard Egielski has breathed life into this icon of freedom, creating a character full of gentle humor, curiosity, and kindness. These unforgettable images perfectly complement the uplifting verse, taking readers on a one-of-a-kind trip across America.
