About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child starts asking questions about fairness, rules, and why everyone gets a say. "Democracy for Dinosaurs" uses a charming cast of prehistoric pals to break down the big ideas of democracy into kid-sized pieces. It explains concepts like voting, rights, responsibilities, and compromise through simple, everyday examples like choosing a class pet or deciding on a playground game. The book fosters a sense of justice, teamwork, and empowerment, showing children how their voice matters within a group. It's an excellent, non-partisan primer for early elementary students, making abstract civics concepts concrete and fun.
