Learning Point
- The Statue of Liberty is a giant green lady standing on an island in New York! She’s super tall, even taller than a lot of big buildings. France gave her as a special present to the United States a long, long time ago to show they were good friends and both believed in freedom. She holds a bright torch up high, like she’s lighting the way for everyone who comes to America. People can even climb all the way to the top of her crown to see amazing views of the city and the water!
