"Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . . "
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . . "
In 1883, Emma Lazarus, deeply moved by an influx of immigrants from eastern Europe, wrote a sonnet that gave a voice to the Statue of Liberty. Originally a gift from France to celebrate our shared national struggles for liberty, the statue, thanks to Emma's poem, came to define us as a nation that welcomes immigrants. The text of that now famous poem, "The New Colossus," appears in this free-verse biography, illustrated in an exquisite folk art style.
The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus has been selected as a Common Core Text Exemplar (Grades 4-5, Poetry)

- I love this book. We checked it out at the library and I knew it must be a permanent addition to our home library. It’s about Emma Lazarus’ poem that made the Statue of Liberty the symbol of what it is today. My most favorite part of the book was that it painted a realistic picture of what it was like for immigrants then, and how Emma cared for their needs and saw their suffering. She had compassion and worked hard to change other people’s hearts and minds, to see the humanity of people fleeing danger and persecution.
I think this book can speak to children’s hearts, to help them understand compassion, kindness and standing up for those who are facing sickness, poverty and persecution (here and abroad). Emma used her gifts (writing, advocating) and her means (providing food, help, etc) to assist people arriving in New York. To me this book gives me hope that especially in these times America can find a way to be a safe harbor for those that ask it of us. Emma was not afraid, she was brave, not for herself but out of love for others. Great read and would be perfect to read alongside a trip to the Statue of Liberty with kids or an introduction to the Statue of Liberty. - No weakness, nothing to like 'only a little'. One of the most beautiful illustrated books I own, and the subject is meaningful and valuable to the average American, with Emma's poem included at the end.
- Beautiful book & story. Thank you.
- Nicely written.
- great story
- Nice read with lots of interesting historical facts. My children enjoyed not just the story but the colorful artwork as well!
- Good
- Gives you the story behind the poem and is a great for close reading and writing in the classroom. So much to pick apart and talk about with immigration at the time.
