{"product_id":"9780763625306","title":"Lady Liberty","description":"\u003cb\u003eA powerfully moving, authentic portrait of the Statue of Liberty, told through the eyes of those who created her and illustrated in glorious detail.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"Soon America will be one hundred years old. I share my dream of a birthday gift.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e It begins in 1865 as a romantic idea, but ten years later Édouard Laboulaye’s dream catches fire and takes shape. Sculptor Auguste Bartholdi gives the dream the form of a lady, holding a torch to \"enlighten the world.\" Engineers, plasterers, carpenters, coppersmiths — many of them immigrants — work together to turn the lady into a monument over 100 feet tall. Joseph Pulitzer calls on readers to help fund a pedestal, and hundreds send in nickels, dimes, and even roosters for the cause. Doreen Rappaport’s historically accurate, poetic vignettes and Matt Tavares’s magnificent images remind us of the true origins of a national symbol — and show that it took a lot of people to make the Lady.","brand":"Candlewick Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46356207173804,"sku":"9780763625306","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6626\/7820\/files\/24095453482459.jpg?v=1781634767","url":"https:\/\/giftshop.carlemuseum.org\/products\/9780763625306","provider":"The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
