The Golden Gate Bridge, a beloved landmark and symbol of San Francisco, has finally received a captivating picture book that recounts the thrilling story of its construction. Written by National Book Award finalist and Sibert Medal winner Elizabeth Partridge, this book tells the story of how the bridge was built during the Great Depression, when daring teams of engineers and builders set out to make something many thought impossible. The book follows the perspective of the lighthouse keepers' kids, who watch in fascination as the trucks and crews arrive and the steel towers coated in heavy red paint begin to rise above the tempestuous water. The illustrations are dazzling and color-soaked, paired with text that blends factual details into the narrators' keen observations. By the final spread, where fireworks explode in celebration over the mighty bridge, the tale is complete—not only of an astonishing feat of engineering but of the potential of human ingenuity to defy the odds and make the impossible possible.
