A bridge like no other-learn the amazing story of the Golden Gate Bridge in this fun and engaging book for kids!

Spanning the powerful waters of the Golden Gate Strait, the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most famous landmarks in the world. But before it was built, many people believed it was impossible to connect San Francisco to the land beyond. The tides were too strong, the winds too fierce, and the distance too great. How did engineers and workers make it happen?

This book takes kids on an exciting journey through the history, science, and construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. From early ideas and bold dreamers to towering cables and earthquake-proof engineering, discover how this record-breaking suspension bridge came to life.

Inside, young readers will explore:

The challenges and dangers workers faced while building the bridge Why the bridge is painted International Orange instead of gray or blue How it withstands strong winds, earthquakes, and thousands of cars every day Fun facts, trivia, and activities to bring the bridge's history to life

With engaging explanations and kid-friendly details, this book is perfect for young learners, history lovers, and future engineers who want to understand one of the greatest bridges ever built.
