Publisher Description: A friendly reminder of how America can be at its best. - Entertainment Weekly If you had to name a statue, any statue, odds are good you'd mention the Statue of Liberty.

In this fascinating and fun take on nonfiction for kids, Dave Eggers and Shawn Harris investigate a seemingly small trait of America's most emblematic statue.
