Misinformation

I was outraged, as a US history teacher, to read that The United States was founded because white men in Europe wanted more power - this AFTER colonization was discussed. It absolutely was not. It was founded because white men in the colonies were dissatisfied with British rule and wanted greater autonomy. It was separate from the colonization and subjugation of Black and of indigenous people that had already happened and was ongoing. Yes, the Constitution was written to benefit white men. Though to conflate the two is disingenous. Otherwise, there were many good things about the book. I would have recommended this and bought a copy for my own classroom if not for this.

Community Building

A great book to introduce participating in your community. I bought several of these to put in little free libraries to make the desire to vote accessible. It takes a village to grow a village.

Great starting point for important discussions

This book is written really well, it explains some basic but important terms about voting and also touches on some more difficult topics like voting rights and inequality. Definitely would recommend as a starting point for younger kids or an intro to deeper exploration
