Description

A "witty [and] compelling" true story for kids about San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge-and why it's orange-by the New York Times-bestselling author! (Fast Company). In this delightfully original nonfiction book, National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize finalist Dave Eggers tackles one of the most famous architectural monuments in the world: the Golden Gate Bridge-and all the arguments and debates about building it and what it should look like. Cut-paper illustrations by Tucker Nichols enliven the tale, and this revised edition also includes real-life letters from local constituents making the case for keeping the bridge orange. With sly humor and lots of fascinating historical facts, this is an accessible, enjoyable read for kids (or adults), transporting readers to the glorious Golden Gate no matter where they live. "Eggers's featherlight humor provides laughs throughout." -Publishers Weekly (starred review). "A love letter to infrastructure." -The New York Times "A story compelling enough to keep adults interested as they read it (and re-read it and re-read it) each night at bedtime." -Fast Company
