Clever illustrations show not only the characters in the story in period clothes, but illustrations of the bridge in progress, with important vocabulary placed appropriately (e.g. "catenary curve" along the steel cables, vertical cables called "suspenders" hanging down, and "stays," the cables that came down diagonally from the towers.
Back matter includes an author's note, more about Emily, a glossary, select bibliography, further reading; endpapers include drawings and then-and-now photographs of the bridge.
Excellent addition to women in STEM picture book biographies.… (altro)
