In "Let Liberty Rise!: How America's Schoolchildren Helped Save the Statue of Liberty," author Chuck Groenink tells the inspiring true story of how schoolchildren across the United States rallied to raise funds to restore the Statue of Liberty in the late 19th century. Faced with the statue's deterioration, a campaign was launched to gather donations, and children enthusiastically participated, collecting pennies and nickels to contribute to the cause. Their efforts culminated in a national movement that not only helped finance the restoration but also instilled a sense of civic pride and unity among young Americans, breathing new life into this iconic symbol of freedom.
