Synopsis

A fascinating look into America’s voting history that will inspire young people to get involved!

This young
readers’ edition of Thank You for Voting, from debut author and journalist Erin Geiger Smith, presents its information in clear, interesting chapters. Broken into three sections—The Stories of How We Got the Vote, Know Before You Vote, and How to Get People to Vote—this is a book that will appeal to kids 8 to 13 who are politically engaged. But it will also help a middle grader who is more focused on just finding good resources for history and social studies reports.

Voting is a privilege and a right, but it hasn’t always been
for many people. From the founding fathers to Jim Crow to women’s suffrage to
gerrymandering—and everything in between—readers will get a look at the complex
history of voting and become empowered to ask BIG questions like:

—What can I do to support my favorite leader?

—Who can I talk to about the issues I believe in?

—How can I make a difference in my community?

Every citizen has the
right to vote. Let each one count!
