A moving 9-11 story about the USS New York, a navy ship with a bow made from a World Trade Center Tower's beam.
Following the events of September 11, 2001, a beam from the World Trade Center Towers was given to the United States Navy. The beam was driven from New York to a foundry in Louisiana, where the seven and a half tons of steel, which had once been a beam in the World Trade Center, became a navy ship's bow.
Powerful text from Janet Nolan is paired with stunning illustrations from New York Times best-selling illustrator Thomas Gonzalez (14 Cows for America) in this inspiring story that reveals how something remarkable can emerge from a devastating event. Also includes details on shipbuilding. A beautiful book, perfect for American history and 9-11 studies.

Almost three thousand people lost their lives”), then moves on to the warship’s construction and triumphant launch. Gonzalez’s (Toad Weather) breathtaking spreads dazzle...Teachers and parents looking for picture books that celebrate the nation and its military will welcome Nolan and Gonzalez’s work. - Publisher's WeeklyA reverent account of the creation of a seagoing 9/11 memorial fashioned by incorporating part of one of the fallen towers into the hull of a Navy ship...A deeply felt but not overwrought telling of a story that will be new to most young readers.- Kirkus Reviews
