Or that Election Day celebrations two hundred years ago featured marching bands and bonfires? How about that George Washington was our only president who ran unopposed? <p/>Elections allow adult citizens the chance to choose how our cities, states, and country are run. Even kids who can't vote yet can make their voices heard by helping the candidates they like get votes! Our elections can seem complicated, but at their core they're all about having a say in our own lives and future. In this fun and fact-filled chapter book, readers learn just how important being an active participant in our democracy can be through one simple message: Elections matter, and we can all play our part. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>Praise for <i>What's the Big Deal About Elections: </i></b> <p/>An informative introduction to the importance of voting, and a great choice for group reading choice before election season. --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>An empowering choice. --<i>Kirkus Reviews<br></i><br>This latest entry into the What's the Big Deal about . . . series is an upbeat discussion starter. --<i>Booklist<br></i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Ruby Shamir (www.rubyshamir.com) worked at the White House in the Clinton administration for three and a half years, for two of which she served in the First Lady's office, and she also led Hillary Rodham Clinton's New York Senate office.
