Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-15 00:00:00 Elena L. Bauer This book is a lesson for children, told by the perspectives of three lucky young people who made their mark in history. This story details why America has the Statue of Liberty, and what it took to get it here. It also tells children that there is much more then meets the eye to some of the greatest things in history.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-09-06 00:00:00 Widodo Sugiarto Building Liberty is the story of several people who had a part in making the Statue of Liberty happen - a young engineering apprentice in France, a boy working on the ship that brought Liberty to the U.S.A., a boy who sold newspapers in New York and helped raise money for the pedestal for the statue, and one man who helped put Liberty together after she arrived in the U.S.A.. I read this to my second grade daughter as part of her homeschooling curriculum. Each person in the book is of a different ethnic group, and the book contains a little biographical note about each person. The story communicated well how the Statue of Liberty was a gift from France and how the American people thought about Liberty.
