Synopsis

What Is the Citizen Contract? is a beautifully written children’s nonfiction picture book about rights, responsibilities, fairness, belonging, and the invisible promise that helps hold a country together.

A country is more than borders, flags, leaders, or laws. It is people sharing homes, schools, streets, hopes, choices, and responsibilities. But how do we live together fairly? What are we owed? What do we owe one another? And how can even a child help protect something as big as a country?

Hi, my name is Ethan Solace—an interdisciplinary psychologist and a dad. Picture books are often the first place children encounter the wider world, but we don’t always stop to think about who wrote them, or the lasting impression they leave.

I wrote The Big Questions series to be premium, exciting, child-friendly, and based on how children actually engage. These books do not talk down to children. They explore with them, using rich language, emotional clarity, and big ideas made accessible through story, wonder, and conversation.

The Big Questions: What Is the Citizen Contract? gently introduces children aged 5–12 to one of society’s most important ideas: the balance between rights and responsibilities. Through poetic nonfiction and thoughtful storytelling, young readers discover that citizenship is not only about voting, laws, or governments. It is also about kindness, truth, safety, listening, fairness, courage, and the choices we make every day.

Inside, children will explore:

  • What rights and responsibilities mean
  • Why rules exist, and what happens when they are broken
  • Why every person deserves safety, care, truth, and a voice
  • How democracy begins with listening, fairness, and respect
  • What it means to belong to a country and help care for it
  • Why even small acts of kindness and courage can strengthen the world around us

This is an ideal book for parents, teachers, homeschool families, classrooms, assemblies, and children who ask thoughtful questions about the world. It can support gentle discussions about citizenship, community, justice, democracy, fairness, social responsibility, and how people live together.

Written with warmth, depth, and cinematic imagination, What Is the Citizen Contract? helps children feel trusted with big ideas while reminding them that they are not too small to matter.

Because a citizen is not just someone who lives in a country.

A citizen helps care for its heart.
