Naming Liberty
by Jane Yolen
illustrated by Jim Burke
A beautifully illustrated picture book with two parallel stories--one of a Russian-Jewish family emigrating to America and the other about French artist Frederic Bartholdi as he creates the Statue of Liberty.

We wanted to make sure you know about this book in the meantime -- which is why we made this review page a little prematurely. We promise to look at this book again soon, and write a full review at that time. Please check back soon.
