But you may not know that he has written a book about the Statue of Liberty and what's more you may be completely unaware that the book is timely and poignant and deeply meaningful and patriotic in the best sense of the word. It is absolutely the best thing I've seen in a long time. --Betsy Bird, School Library Journal, Fuse #8 and co-author of Wild Things: Acts of Mischief in Children's Literature
