Overview

Between 1921 and 1955, Italian immigrant Simon Rodia transformed broken glass, seashells, pottery and a dream to do something big into an American national landmark. Young readers can watch the towers rise from his little plot of land in Watts, California, through the eyes of a fictional girl as she grows and raises her own children. Chronicled in a stunningly detailed collage that mimics Rodia's found-object art, this 34-year journey becomes a mesmerising testament to perseverance and possibility.
