Her Right Foot [B0559]

2017 HCDJ in excellent condition. If you had to name a statue, any statue, odds are good you'd mention the Statue of Liberty. Have you seen her? She's in New York. She's holding a torch. And she's taking one step forward. But why? In this fascinating, fun take on nonfiction, uniquely American in its frank tone and honest look at the literal foundation of our country, Dave Eggers and Shawn Harris investigate a seemingly small trait of America's most emblematic statue. What they find is about more than history, more than art. What they find in the Statue of Liberty's right foot is the powerful message of acceptance that is essential to an entire country's creation. For 5-9 years.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Her Right Foot is a non-fiction story about the Statue of Liberty being a beacon of hope to immigrants everywhere. It felt like an appropriate book to read this Presidents Day. Moral: We should be welcoming to the poor, the tired, and the struggling. Favorite Line: "After all, the Statue of Liberty is an immigrant, too." It was published during Trump's first go round. It was needed then and it's needed now. Help raise a kinder gentler baby and make this a part of your collection."; "Her Right Foot is a charming and thought-provoking book that encourages readers to reflect on what liberty means in a broader context. It's a must-read for those interested in understanding the ideals that the Statue of Liberty represents."; "Another wonderful book by Dave Eggers. Having just returned home from NYC, I wish I had read this before visiting Lady Liberty! Great illustrations and the message is an important one."
