    About What’s the Big Deal About Elections

    From campaigns to voting booths, from local elections to national races, this fun and fact-filled book–now in chapter book format!–celebrates the fundamental American idea that “we the people” get to decide who runs the show.

    Did you know that we have more than ninety thousand state and local governments in the US? Or that Election Day celebrations two hundred years ago featured marching bands and bonfires? How about that George Washington was our only president who ran unopposed?

    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. In this fun and fact-filled chapter book, readers learn just how important being an active participant in our democracy can be through one simple message: Elections matter, and we can all play our part.
