The Liberty of Colmar Julie G Fox

Did you know that the famous Statute of Liberty sculpture in the city of New York was created by a talented French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, born in the town of Colmar, Alsace? Did you know that the replica of that famous statue is proudly standing in the town of Colmar, reminding the citizens and visitors to this picturesque French town about their famous resident? Did you know that the storks, the beautiful birds famous for building their nests on the roofs of houses in many European countries, are the symbol of Colmar? If you are lucky enough to visit the Alsace region of France, and especially Colmar, look up! The storks' nests are everywhere, from the roofs of three-story homes to the roofs of ancient cathedrals. The Liberty of Colmar, our picture book for readers between the ages of 2 and 102, is full of small French town charm and is available in English, French and Russian languages!
