The other name of the Statue of Liberty: Mother of Exiles. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me …" - Emma Lazarus's 1883 sonnet, from the Statue.

#NewIllustrationoftheDay by Sara Ogilvie, with her cheery touch. Mixed emotions in response to news, from The Muttcracker (text by Anna Kemp), another picturebook about the dog who does ballet. Also about rising above disappointment to do your best. Out in pb @simonkids_UK 7 Nov. https://t.co/ccFOTBEBGz
