(4) 4-6 Candlewick Biographies series. Illustrated by Matt Tavares. Arranged chronologically, fictional first-person accounts of people who assisted in the statue's design, building, financing, and transport convey a vivid sense of the ingenuity, politics, and hardships involved in making the statue a reality. Tavares's watercolor, pencil, and ink images emphasize the intimacy of Rappaport's vignettes. This smaller "reformatted edition" loses some of the original's impact; it's hard to read the tiny type. Reading list, timeline. Bib., ind.
