Portion of title How America's schoolchildren helped save the Statue of Liberty
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.
