| Abstract | "The true story of how schoolchildren helped fund the construction of the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty in New York City."-- Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | "On America's 100th birthday, the people of France built a giant gift! It was one of the largest statues the world had ever seen -- and she weighed as much as 40 elephants! And when she arrived on our shores in 350 pieces, she needed a pedestal to hold her up. Few of America's millionaires were willing to foot the bill. And without funds for a pedestal, Lady Liberty would remain trapped in her crates, scattered about Bedloe's Island. Could everyday Americans -- including schoolchildren -- collect enough pennies to help Liberty rise?" -- inside front jacket flap. |
