Bookroo's summary

At Stanton Elementary, students discover the power of voting as their school transforms into a polling station. Though too young to vote, they rally their community to participate in elections, understanding that today's actions shape tomorrow's leaders. Can their enthusiasm inspire others to use their voices for change?

"Kids have to live with adult choices!"

— from the book

From the publisher

In this charming and powerful picture book about voting and elections, the students of Stanton Elementary School learn how we can find–and use–our voices for change. 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 all 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.
