'Little Miss Liberty' by Chris Roberson is a picture book about an unusual young girl. I hoped for a bit more history than I got, but it's still a cute little book.
Little Miss Liberty was born in France. She is a bit green. She also grows faster than other kids. She likes to learn and soon outgrows her home, so she goes to seek a new home.
The Statue of Liberty was created in France, and did eventually end up in the United States. It does convey some of what the statue stands for, but I had hoped for it to be a bit more meaningful. It gets close in a couple places, but then steps away. It's a cute enough storybook and the illustrations are fun to look at.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Xist Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

I thought this was going to be a fictionized story of the origin of the Statue of Liberty, which of course, came from the French on the anniversary of American's 100th birthday. That would have been a cool book.
This book is not that.
It's hard to say what this book is. It starts out as though it might be a fictionized version, because she is born in France, but after that it jumps on the crazy train. The Statue, known as Miss Liberty, goes to school, and does things and keeps growing until she is as tall as the Statue is. She explores the world, and decides that the island where the statue sits now, is where she wants to be.
I'm sorry, but this is not a story of the Statue of Liberty, nore is it a story of a girl who became the statue. This is just a mess of potage, as my mother used to say. I think it would be confusing, and strange, for any child who reads it.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Little Miss Liberty is a story about the Statue of Liberty. She is born green and grows bigger everyday. She loves to read and has a quirky sense of fashion. And then one day, she decides to set off to find a home of her own. This was a cute story about a topic I've never read a book on before, but I didn't find it amazing or groundbreaking.

This is a unique story about the Statue of Liberty. Miss Library is a little girl who continues to grow bigger than everyone else. She reads a lot, learns to help others, and to explore new and distant lands. Once she finds the perfect home, she stands tall and proud, a beacon of hope and light.

I would like to thank netgalley and Xist Publishing for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a sweet little book, it very cleverly explores the things that the statue of liberty stands for.
