By Deborah Hopkinson Pictures by James Ransome
Travel back in time to the bustling streets of New York City in 1930. Times are tough, but a magnificent vision is taking shape right before your eyes. Join a young boy and his father as they watch a building rise from the ground, as straight and simple as a pencil, growing taller every single day. Look up high into the clouds where fearless workers are hoisting massive steel beams and stacking millions of bricks. You will witness the daring sky boys eat their lunches at dizzying heights above the city as they construct the Empire State Building in record time. When the ribbon is finally cut, you can imagine the rush of zooming to the very top of the world. This award-winning historical tale brings the incredible construction of an American landmark to life with stunning detail and soaring adventure.
