Summary: I wish there were more books like this....
Comment: This book is fabulous. I love the message of teaching our children to reach for their dreams and not be discouraged by social injustice (as Grace is female and African American). 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). As other reviewers stated it is so timely. I am so excited about the current election because of what it represents, but haven't been able to spread that enthusiasm to my five year old daughter named Grace. This book did the trick.

Summary: Really resonates.
Comment: Of all the "election" books I could find, this one really stood out as being entertaining, informative, and extremely insightful. While Hillary's run is now over, the book subtely points out that at our most basic level we identify with our gender over other differences; and the use of Wyoming, "The Equality State", to overcome the gender bias is really well-done. The character Grace's honest incredulity that there has never been a woman president despite the obvious 50/50 split of girls and boys resonates in a sweet way.

Summary: A great book!
Comment: This is a fabulous book that can be used as a primer for educating children about how elections work in our country. Kelly DiPucchio has taken a complicated subject and made it completely user friendly for children to understand. It is a fun story to read, and factual at the same time. I love how the author assigned children in the classroom to represent states and their electoral votes. I loved that her character was a girl that decided enough was enough and it was time for a woman to become president without making an issue out of which political party she represented. And I loved that at the end of the book, the deciding delegate cast his vote for the best "person" to do the job. This is just a great book and very timely for an election year. Go Grace!
