A note for parents and teachers:
This politically-neutral book focuses on the political process. There is no discussion of opinions or platforms held by any political parties or candidates. We encourage you to appropriately speak to your children or students if and when they have questions about what makes candidates or parties different, how and why certain policies are in place, and how we can strengthen, change, or create the policies we believe in as informed citizens.
