An uneven prose poem recalls the creation of the Statue of Liberty, its arrival in the United States, and its importance as a symbol of America for immigrants. Most of the book's appeal comes from the art, which provides unusual perspectives of the monument, such as laborers hammering copper sheets to a single foot and Liberty's face peeking out over scaffolding above a Paris street.

Illustrated by
Kim Fernandes.
In this poem from the Victorian classic A Child's Garden of Verses, a bored young boy imagines all kinds of pleasant, bug-sized adventures in the "Land of Play." Three-dimensional sculpted illustrations don't do much more than interpret the poem literally, but they're cheerful and bright, and Fernandes achieves an extraordinary level of detail in their modeling.
