Series: What Was?

A symbol of freedom, democracy, and friendship, the Statue of Liberty now takes her place as the latest subject in the What Was...? series.

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