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.
