Baby Loves Political Science: Democracy!

Does your junior citizen know how to vote ? Could you explain to your little listener how a democracy works and how officials are elected?

This cute and clever addition to the best-selling Baby Loves Political Science series offers an accurate and simple introduction to what makes a great democracy and how every vote counts that is perfect for babies--and their grown ups.

Baby learns what it means to participate in a democracy where everyone has a voice in electing our leaders. There are many ways for all of us, including the youngest children, to participate--such as making signs and sending postcards, campaigning, attending rallies, and of course getting out the vote!This timely addition to the series focuses on democracy in a developmentally friendly way. This nonpartisan introduction focuses on a mayoral race and depicts people making signs, sending letters, and going to a polling place. Colorful illustrations help contextualize some events that a little one may not have experienced yet. While this book will be well appreciated by traditional board book readers, it is also a great tool to explain this process to older children.
