Bronzes Speak

Discover the magic of statues coming to life!

About the Book

On his daily walks, Eliot Cooper would walk by bronze sculptures in the Denver West Office Park, imagining what inspired their creation and thought it'd be nice for children to relive these stories.

When he visited them, it made him feel happy to create his own stories on the spot, so he figured why not share this with children by creating a story book!

In Bronzes Speak: Series 1 – Denver, childhood comes alive through five charming tales inspired by real bronze sculptures nestled in the heart of Denver West.
