It has been a crazy election year for us adults–but remember that a lot of our children (particularly those who are under school age or homeschooled) have been mostly shielded from 2020’s negative effect on our lives. 🙂 That being said, one of the great things about election years is that it presents an awesome opportunity to talk to our kids about how elections and the U.S. presidency works!
Last week I grabbed a stack of children’s books on the subject of how elections work, from our local library. My favorites are the ones that made it onto this list. I will link them to both Amazon and thriftbooks.com in case your library is not open yet and you want to grab them online!

Vote!
By Eileen Christelow
