NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Learn how the Statue of Liberty made her way to New York Harbor in this fascinating history for young readers, part of the beloved What Was? series. The perfect way to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary! In 1876, France decided to give the United States a very big and very special present: the Statue of Liberty!

But how was America’s most prominent symbol of freedom built and moved into place? What gives the statue its iconic blue-green color today? How did the French transport our 111-foot-tall lady of liberty into New York Harbor all those years ago? Young historians will find the answers to these questions and more in this detailed, easy-to-comprehend biography of the creation and history of the Statue of Liberty.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book was good
*by S***E on March 28, 2020*

The book talks about how this man loved the way the United States had their government working. He wanted to give them a gift so he held a donation and he built the statue with his group. Then he needed help making the statue not fall so he asked his friend Gustav Eiffel and he made a metal skeleton for the inside. So he made the skeleton. Once it was done they took it piece by piece and put it in containers and sent it to the U.S. The statue had been there since 1885.
