The Central Park Statue Series

On average 35 million people visit Central Park each year. Many pass by the statues, plaques and benches and wonder who those people were. They read the plaques, but there is more to their stories than just what their plaques report.

I wrote this creative non-fiction series, The Central Park Statues Speak, so that readers could learn the compelling life stories of these honorees.

Like Alexa or Siri or a historical re-enactor, the statues recall their contributions to society lest we forget. In volume one, four high school students converse with and confront AI- and IT-enabled Central Park statues about their past.

In this 3-volume series, a total of 31 statues, five benches, three plaques, two tree markers, two fountains, one stone mosaic, and one obelisk are interviewed by the teenage researchers. Enjoy reading or listening to their stories.
