"What, no girls?" Explains elections in the context of school election. Though Grace runs for president against a white boy, race and racism are not mentioned!

I really enjoyed this book and the message presented. The author did a wonderful job at encouraging young girls to follow their dreams and do anything they put their mind too. This book would be great for young readers. ( )

This is a great book for primary students. It is pretty short and sweet. This book has simple words and is short enough to keep their interest.

This book is about a little girl. She is at school learning about presidents and her teacher rolls about pictures of all the past presidents. She is so shocked that there has never been a female president that she says she wants to be president. Her teacher thinks that it would be a great idea for her to be the class president for the school. She thinks thats a great idea. She begins to realize that she will have to run against other candidates who want to be president for their class.

This book is super cute. I really enjoyed it. This would be a great book to read when teaching about presidents. This would be a simple way to introduce something about presidents and the topic without over loading the students with history right way. This would also grab their attention and get them excited about meeting their goals and striving for big things. This might even be a fun was to have a class president in our own classroom and have students run for president and vote! This would be a great way to teach the children about politics and what this looks like in the real world for adults. ( )
