Emma's Poem: The Voice of the Statue of Liberty

32 pp. | Houghton | April, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-17184-5 $17.00
(1) K-3 Illustrated by Claire A. Nivola. Glaser's account of how Emma Lazarus came to write her iconic poem is brief, yet telling--especially when complemented by Nivola's eloquent illustrations. Her rectilinear compositions and poses; generalized figures; and bright, limited palette capture New York City's opulent upper crust and the indigent yet dignified newcomers with equal skill. An author's note and the text of the poem are appended.
