<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The students of Stanton Elementary School, which is a polling place, find out all they can about voting and then encourage everyone in their neighborhoods to cast their ballots.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>In this charming and powerful picture book about voting and elections, the students of Stanton Elementary School learn how we can find--and </b><b><i>use</i></b><b>--our voices for change. </b></b> <p/>Every two years, on the first Tuesday of November, Stanton Elementary School closes for the day. For vacation? Nope! For repairs? No way! Stanton Elementary School closes so that it can transform itself into a polling station. People can come from <i>all</i> over to vote for the people who will make laws for the country. Sure, the Stanton Elementary School students might be too young to vote themselves, but that doesn't mean they can't encourage their parents, friends, and family to vote! After all, voting is how this country sees change--and by voting today, we can inspire tomorrow's voters to change the future.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Margaret McNamara's </b><i><b>Vote for Our Future!</b> <p/></i>"Essential--the energetic narrative and uplifting illustrations will inspire and empower young readers to get out the vote." --<i>Kirkus Reviews, </i>starred review <p/><i>"</i>An exhilarating tribute to junior grassroots organizing that might just inspire a Get an Adult to Vote movement." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/><b>Praise for Margaret McNamara's <i>The Dinosaur Expert</i> </b> <p/>A pivotal moment in a child's life, handled with grace and sensitivity rather than conflict or ineffective lecturing. --<i>Kirkus Reviews, </i>starred review <p/>A beautifully crafted picture book. --<i>Booklist, </i>starred review <p/>This story is illustrated with great care and attention to detail from page one, and the text and artwork work together in harmony to bring home powerful messages about gender equality, evolving to improve, and being careful with the feelings of others. --<i>School Library Journal, </i>starred review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Margaret McNamara is the author of the Mr. Tiffin Classroom series, including <i>The Dinosaur Expert</i>, <i>A Poem in Your Pocket</i>, <i>The Apple Orchard Riddle</i>, and <i>How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin?</i> She is also the author of <i>Eliza: The Story of Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton</i>, which <i>Booklist</i> called lovely in a starred review.
