The Statue of Liberty was conceived many years ago in the late 1800s, but its meaning—of unity, of welcome, of acceptance—has never been more relevant than today. This moving, profound book tells the story of one of the most significant architectural triumphs in the world: the Statue of Liberty. It’s a story that begins with one man’s idea for the statue and continues through its creation on both sides of the Atlantic as a team of visionaries join hands to build this monument to freedom.

Elizabeth Cotten was only a little girl when she picked up a guitar for the first time. It wasn’t hers—it was her big brother’s—and it wasn’t strung right—she was left-handed. But she flipped that guitar upside down and backwards and taught herself how to play it anyway. By eleven, she’d written “Freight Train,” one of the most famous folk songs. And by the end of her life, everyone from the California beaches to the rolling hills of England knew her music. Black History Books, Folk Musician, Child Teaching, Biography Books, Cotten
