What Is the Statue of Liberty?

The story of how the 111-foot-tall lady took her place in the New York Harbor will fascinate young readers.

In 1876, France decided to give the United States a very big and very special present—the Statue of Liberty. The gift was to commemorate the 100th birthday of the United States, and just packing it was no small feat—350 pieces in 214 crates shipped across the ocean.
