Sculptor Auguste Bartholdi gives the dream the form of a lady, holding a torch to \"enlighten the world.\" Engineers, plasterers, carpenters, and coppersmiths work together to turn the lady into a monument more than 100 feet tall. Doreen Rappaport's poetic vignettes and Matt Tavares's magnificent images remind us of the origins of a national symbol--and show that it took a lot of people to make the Lady.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoreen Rappaport has written many books for young readers, including an acclaimed trilogy about the African-American experience: NO MORE!, FREE AT LAST!, and NOBODY GONNA TURN ME 'ROUND, all illustrated by Shane W.
