Did you know that we have more than ninety thousand state and local governments in the United States? Or that Election Day celebrations two hundred years ago featured marching bands and bonfires? Elections allow adult citizens the chance to choose how our cities, states, and country are run. Even kids who can't vote yet can make their voices heard by helping the candidates they like get votes! Our elections can seem complicated, but at their core, they're all about having a say in our own lives and future. Now available in chapter book as well as the previously published picture book form, Ruby Shamir presents a fun and fact-filled case for the importance of being an active participant in our democracy.
Talking about electoral politics—especially in contentious times—has always been important, but it’s hard to know where to start. Join us for a kid- and- adult friendly event focused on how to talk about the current election.
