Rock That Vote

A parent would reach for this book when their child starts asking questions about elections or fairness in group decisions. It's the perfect, gentle introduction to the concept of voting, framed around a choice any kid can understand: what to build at the playground. Through vibrant illustrations and an energetic, rhyming text, the story follows a group of animal friends who disagree on a new park feature. Instead of arguing, they decide to hold an election. This book brilliantly demystifies the voting process, showing everything from making campaign posters and giving speeches to registering and casting a secret ballot. It teaches the importance of making your voice heard while also modeling how to be a gracious winner and a good sport when your choice doesn't win. It’s an upbeat and fun way to talk about civic responsibility and community.
