Books with title Liberty on 23rd Street

It is March of 1885, and New York City is preparing to accept a gift from the people of France to the people of America: the Statue of Liberty. There is a slight problem, though. The statue needs a base to stand on, and raising funds is proving difficult. Twelve-year-old Emma Kagan has a problem, too safely delivering a package from her Lower East Side neighborhood to a department store miles north. Little does Emma know that her errand will involve a newfound friend, the police, and the Statue of Liberty herself.

Kezia's secret Sundays have the power to set her free.I was born on wash day."Did you have to work that day?" I once asked Mama."Our people work every day, Kezia," she said.They must work all week except on Sunday afternoons, when Missus Grace's slaves are free to travel through town and visit with friends. Glorious Sundays, when slaves throughout Fredericksburg walk along the dirt path they call Liberty Street, making small journeys that give them the only taste of freedom they can ever have.Soon Sundays take on an even deeper meaning when Kezia joins a secret school to learn to read―even though it is forbidden to slaves. Meanwhile, Mama works frantically to earn extra money to buy Kezia's freedom from Missus Grace before she is bonded out to another family far away.Liberty Street is a moving story of courage and love, and a testament to those in the antebellum South who risked all in the name of knowledge and freedom.

Children's Coloring Book. Liberty is Colonial Williamsburg's mascot, a dog just like George Washington may have owned. Join Liberty as she visits the people and places (and animals) of Williamsburg, as she grabs a shoe from the shoemaker, finds her way out of the maze behind the Governor's Palace, plays with other animals, howls along with fifes and drums, and heads home with George and Martha Washington. With this coloring book, you can make sure Liberty's day is not only fun but colorful!
