Imagine a building with lots and lots of floors, like more than 30 floors! That's how tall the Statue of Liberty is. She's 305 feet high from her feet to the top of her torch. Her face is as wide as a small car! Can you believe that?

The Statue of Liberty looks like a lady standing up. She's wearing a long, flowing dress. On her head, she has a special crown with seven points. Each point is like a little tower. These points are like fingers pointing to the seven continents in the world.

She's holding a bright torch in her right hand, like a big flashlight. And in her left hand, she's holding a tablet. It's like a big, flat piece of paper. On the tablet, there's a special date: July 4, 1776. That's when America became free.

The outside of the statue is made of copper. Copper is a kind of metal that's usually brown. But guess what? Over time, it turned green! It's like when you leave a penny outside and it gets all green and yucky. But for the statue, it looks beautiful. Inside the statue, there's a strong metal frame. It's like a big skeleton that helps her stand up straight.

You know how you get presents from your friends on your birthday? Well, the Statue of Liberty was a big present from France to America. The people in France made her in their country. Then they took her apart into many pieces, like a giant puzzle. They put the pieces on big ships and sent her across the ocean to America. In America, people put all the pieces back together. It took a long time, but they did it! She was finished in 1886.

A long time ago, many people came to America from other countries. When they saw the Statue of Liberty, they felt happy and excited. They knew they were coming to a place where they could be free and start a new life. Even today, she's a symbol of freedom for people all around the world. Next, let's learn how to draw the Statue of Liberty!
