Citizenship Starts with Me

Citizenship begins with everyday actions

In Citizenship Starts with Me, children explore what it means to care about their communities and take responsibility for their choices. Learn why rules and laws matter, what can happen when they are not followed, and how people work together to keep each other safe.

This book introduces key civic ideas in ways young learners can understand—from voting and participating in community discussions to volunteering, recycling, and keeping neighborhoods clean. By connecting big civic concepts to everyday behaviors, Citizenship Starts with Me supports early social studies learning and encourages children to see themselves as active participants in their worlds.

Citizenship Starts with Me:

• Builds foundational civic understanding
• Connects laws and community rules to fairness and safety
• Encourages everyday acts of responsibility and care

Good citizenship starts with the small choices we make from day to day.

| Discover how you can be a good citizen every day by following rules, helping others, and making choices that strengthen your community. |
