Explore bridges around the world—and how they unite us—in this gorgeously illustrated nonfiction picture book

Both informational and thought-provoking, Bridges shows how these awe-inspiring structures unite the human-created and natural worlds, and how they bring people together.

Bridges can be high or low, long or short, straight or curvy. Some are designed to blend in, while others stand out. But each one tells a story: a reminder of our history, a testament to ingenuity and engineering, an invitation to imagine the possibilities of the future. Literally and symbolically, bridges connect us—to new places, new cultures, and new people.

This is a unique, accessible look at bridges all around the world: from San Francisco’s incredible Golden Gate to the Victoria Falls Bridge connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe to England’s Tower Bridge and Japan’s Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge and many in between.

Perfect for sharing as part of units on engineering and building—and to spark wonder and interest in our world.
