Illustrated by
Celia Krampien.
This simple picture book emphasizes that the purpose of bridges is human connectivity: "Bridges do more than connect one place to another. / They bring the whole world together." A brief text pairs with more informative sidebars to explore many types of bridges (covered, draw, railway, etc.) as well as famous ones (Golden Gate, London, Brooklyn). Sunny illustrations make good use of the connection theme.
