About this product
Product Information
The powerful story behind the poem that defined the Statue of Liberty as a welcoming icon for immigrants. Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free... Who wrote these words? And why? In 1883, Emma Lazarus, deeply moved by an influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe, wrote a sonnet that was to give voice to the Statue of Liberty. Originally a gift from France to celebrate our shared national struggles for liberty, the Statue, thanks to Emma's poem, slowly came to shape our hearts, defining us as a nation that welcomes and gives refuge to those who come to our shores. AUTHOR Claire A Nivola's parents and grandparents arrived by ship in New York Harbor in 1939 - passing under the gaze of the Statue of Liberty- as part of the great European flight from anti-Semitism and Fascism. REVIEWS The art and words are moving in this picture book, which pairs free verse with detailed, fullpage paintings in watercolor, ink, and gouache to tell the history behind Lazarus' famous inscription on the Statue of Liberty. --Booklist A gentle tribute to Emma Lazarus, very much in the style of Barbara Cooney's Eleanor (Viking, 1996)...The pictures, with their slight folk-art feel, capture both the time and action of the story, while the text illuminates the woman. An author's note and the full text of the poem complete the book. A worthwhile addition for most collections. --School Library Journal Nivola's watercolor-and-gouache paintings are rich in color and detail, showing the elegant streets and homes of 19th-century New York City as well as its settlement houses. Line, pattern and a sense of place give young readers a rich vision of the golden door by which your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free came to this country. Nicely done, enabling even young children to see how the poem and the statue came together. --Kirkus ILLUSTRATIONS Full-Colour Ages 5-8 Reinforced binding *
