In this election year featuring women and the presidency, Hillary and Sarah, no matter what your political party this is a great book! Grace discovers that no women have ever been president, and decides she'll be president one day. The teacher (hooray for her!) picks up on this and decides to run a school-wide election for president to teach the kids about presidential politics - including the unfathomable electoral college!
It has just the right mix of educational facts and entertainment all tied up with messages of "reach for your dreams" and "do the honorable thing" (voting for the best person rather than along gender lines). It speaks to confidence, overcoming fears and being honest. It is a fun story to read, and factual at the same time.
Ages 4 - 8
