(1) K-3 Illustrated by Matt Tavares. Rappaport's "biography" consists of fictional first-person accounts representing the voices of people who assisted in the statue's design, building, financing, and transport. The stories, arranged chronologically, together convey a vivid sense of the ingenuity, politics, and hardships involved in making the statue a reality. Tavares's watercolor, pencil, and ink images complement each account precisely and emphasize the intimacy of Rappaport's vignettes. Reading list, timeline. Bib.
