Leo's dad has just become an American citizen and is excited to cast his first vote for president. Leo can't wait to go with him and to vote himself, in his class's mock election. When his cousin questions if one vote really matters, the thought nags at Leo. But as the results of the school election roll in, Leo sees firsthand how every vote counts. This book teems with vocabulary terms like polling place and voter registration, turning readers into mini democracy experts.
This book dares to tread where few children's books have before: the electoral college. When Grace Campbell sees a poster of past presidents and wonders Where are the girls?, she decides to be the first. A classroom mock presidential race ensues, and each student is assigned a state and its accompanying electoral votes, to be cast on Election Day. Pham fully embraces the patriotic theme in her illustrations, slowly turning the bunting up to 11.
