Omschrijving

Everything a future voter needs to know about elections in the U.S.

Elections are big news--in the media, in classrooms, in Iowa and New Hampshire! But do you really know how the whole process works? For the home, for the classroom, for kids and adults, for every future voter, this book explains our country's most important decision making process.

With fun, full-color illustrations and humorous commentary, this book offers a balanced, thorough introduction to the principles of the American electoral process, tackling:
-the founding of the republic
-how the electoral college works
-the formation of political parties, and the role of independent candidates
-the why and how of political campaigns
-what conventions and primary elections are for
-how media innovations become political game-changers
-examples and anecdotes from great campaigns all throughout our nation's history
-how kids can use their voices, even when they're too young to vote

And most importantly: Changes in our democracy start with the people, not politicians. Democracy is a conversation, and it's up to us to keep talking!

"It's a very clear, readable . . . and funny! . . . explanation of the American electoral process." - Lois Lowry, Newbery Medalist and bestselling author
