Naming Liberty

32 pp. | Philomel | July, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-24250-2 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jim Burke. During the Russian pogroms, seven-year-old Gitl and her family plan their escape. In a parallel story, Frédéric Bartholdi designs the Statue of Liberty. On each left-hand page, Gitl's saga unfolds, while right-hand pages tell of Bartholdi's progress. Burke's warm paintings, facing each other across the pages, illustrate very different events but nicely echo each other in composition and shading.
