The children of Stanton Elementary are ready to speak up for themselves! Kids can’t vote, so they’re talking to the people who can about why voting is important.

This book is perfectly timed with upcoming elections, and it does a wonderful job teaching kids about the importance of voting. The illustrations are colorful, inclusive, and complement the text well. A recommended purchase for all libraries to share with Pre-K through 2nd graders, though it would also be a great book to share with older kids paired with more detailed discussion about elections and voting.
