Grace for President written by Kelly DiPucchio, pictures by LeUyen Pham
A picture book that explains the electoral college? Gimme!
Like Katie in Madam President
, Grace considers her gender (and race, by the way) no barrier when it comes to her desire to hold the highest position in the land.In Grace for President, we are witness to her first campaign - for president of 5th grade. Each 5th grader represents a U.S. state, and a corresponding number of electoral votes, so while Grace holds rallies and researches the needs of her constituency, her wily opponent, Thomas, tallies the demographics of the electoral college and discovers that boys hold a slim majority of the electoral votes. If everyone votes true to their party, he will win!
How do you think that's going to work out for old Thomas?

If you like to read young adult fiction, may I suggest one to try?
"Outcasts Of Skagaray" is an action adventure fantasy, with youthful characters and a serious theme. There are reader reviews on line, and you can preview the book by reading the sample chapters on www.threeswans.com.au I would be really glad to know what you think if you decide to read it. Best wishes, in any event.
