With its poetic message of welcome, the Statue of Liberty holds an important and beloved place in American history. In time for anniversary of our nation's founding, this biography of the woman who wrote the now-famous poem on its pedestal has deep relevance for readers today.

Emma loved stories, loved writing poetry, and was curious about the world. When she met poor immigrants arriving in New York City, she knew she had to help. And when she was asked to write a poem about the Statue of Liberty, she imagined Lady Liberty as a mother, welcoming her children home. Her famous poem, “The New Colossus,” is still there on the statue’s pedestal, sharing its message of welcome with the world.

Ann D. Koffsky is an award-winning author and illustrator of more than thirty books for children, including The Peddler and the President, the Kayla and Kugel series, What's In Tuli's Box?, Under-the-Sea Seder, and Noah's Swimathon, all published with Apples & Honey Press. She lives in West Hempstead, New York. N. Tarcan is a Turkish illustrator. She studied photography at Yildiz Technical University, but life had other plans! One day, she was taking photos of a local circus and the next thing she knew, she was performing with them and traveling around the world—from Qatar to Georgia and beyond. When COVID hit, she decided to return to her first love: drawing. Today, she draws inspiration from the small details of everyday life. She lives in Namur, Belgium.
