Lady Liberty's Holiday

Description

A fun, funny, and patriotic celebration of America as seen through the eyes of a traveling Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is feeling a little blue . . . despite being green. She's tired of standing in New York City's harbor day after day. At her pigeon friend Moe's coaxing, she waits until dark one night to lower her arm, put down her tablet, pry her sandals from the stone, and sneak away--it's time for a vacation! With all there is to explore across the United States--from the sandy beaches of Cape Cod and the ticklish wheat fields of Kansas to the breathtaking grandeur of the Grand Canyon and the cozy sunshine of the California Coastline--will Lady Liberty make it back to New York City for the Fourth of July? And will she even want to?

JEN ARENA is lucky to have been surrounded by children's books her whole life. As a teenager, she worked in a bookstore. Then she was a children's book editor. And now she writes and edits books for kids, including Besos for Baby and 100 Snowmen. Like Lady Liberty, Jen loves to travel around America-her favorite spots are Chicago, San Francisco, New Orleans, and New York-but she always comes home in the end. Visit her at jenarenabooks.com.
