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
