I Voted: Making a Choice Makes a Difference | Mark Shulman
14 posts
With the next presidential election upon us, this witty, nonpartisan book will help explain the concept of voting to the youngest readers. I Voted explains the concept of choosing, individually, and as a group, from making a simple choice: "Which do you like better, apples or oranges?", to selecting a class pet, to even more complicated decisions, like electing community representatives. You may not always get want you want, but there are strategies to better your odds! Serge Bloch's effortless and charming illustrations paired with Mark Shulman's funny and timely text create a perfect resource for discussing current events with your children. Backmatter includes information about the United States electoral process. Selected for the CBC Champions of Change Showcase A Junior Library Guild Selection!

slategreyskies I haven‘t peeked yet. I‘ve been able to resist because I‘ve been at work, but I just got off, so from now until the results are announced… well, those hours will be the tough ones! Just breathe. 💙 2w

Excuse the non-book post, but I early voted today with hope in my heart for our first woman president 🤞 I know I don‘t need to preach to this community but if you‘re in the US, I hope you‘ve gotten out there or are planning to do so soon. The kittens #BookerCat and #TulinCat humored me by posing with our stickers (I learned the hard way that you shouldn‘t put a fresh sticker on a cat, poor Booker got a little wax 😅)

ChaoticMissAdventures I voted early too!! I think it is going to be a VERY long week and we will not have results for days but I am trying to stay hopeful 💙🤞 3w
cariashley @ChaoticMissAdventures you‘re so right. My husband took the rest of the week off 😂 I‘m too busy at work to do that but at least I‘ll have some distraction! 3w

ChaoticMissAdventures @cariashley I have a friend who took the week off and is going to a cabin without TV or Wi-Fi, which I think is so smart! She was traumatized in '16 when election night was on her birthday, I took Wednesday off hoping to also get out somewhere where I am not glued to the results. Hope your husband can get some productive time in too! 3w

Last chance to vote, folks! I will be posting the results in 24(ish) hours.

Sorry for the tag if you've already voted, but it's anonymous so I can't tell!

#LGBTbookclub

PuddleJumper I've just started reading the Feb pick 🤣 2y
AbigailJaneBlog @PuddleJumper aha, I think you'll enjoy it! The main point is to try new queer books so it doesn't really matter when you read them! 2y

Posting this in the hopes that #auldlangspine isn't full for early sign up yet. I early voted a few weeks ago, and since there's going to be a city council run-off I'll be voting again in a couple of weeks.

Remember to check on local election results to see if there's a run-off. Turn out for those elections can be very low, but they can have a huge impact on your community.

AmyG They can! My husband once ran for mayor and won by 13 votes. Every vote counts! 2y
monalyisha Just got your email! Thanks for joining & for the PSA. 🥳 2y

#notbookrelated but I wanted to share a pic of me and my daughter, Pamela, who voted for the first time today. She‘s glad to be old enough to vote now! I‘m very proud of her!

Texreader That‘s wonderful!! I took my daughter for her first time to vote last week. I loved the cheers she got 2y
Bren912 I have to say I worked the polls today and took pics of all the kids first time with their parents. Honestly: it brought tears to my eyes!!! Voting is such an honor and privilege—good job mama!! 2y

SamAnne Seeing all these Litten photos of going to the actual polls is making me nostalgic for the days when Oregon and Washington had actual polls, not mail in ballots. Although mail in ballots are so much preferable, as is early voting. More accessible to more people. But it doesn't have the same community feel! 2y

I honestly have no idea what half of those proposed amendments meant 🫢😂 BUT, I voted! Now to *try* to ignore CNN blaring from the kitchen (silly hubby needs the play by play 😳). @monalyisha will also send you an e-mail now!

AmyG Hahahaha, I also need a play by play. I am a glutton for punishment. 2y
Susanita I‘ll sit here watching anything else as long as possible, then retire to the bedroom when hubby gets home and turns on the faux channel. 2y

KathyWheeler I read somewhere that Alabama has the worst constitution, not just in the US, but in the world. I was confused about those amendments too. 2y
CBee @KathyWheeler I can‘t say that I‘m surprised. I‘m always partially confused by the amendments - it‘s always about half that I understand and half that I don‘t 🤷‍♀️ 2y
KathyWheeler @CBee Yeah. I just always pray that my vote means what I think it means with those. 2y
CBee @KathyWheeler same here 😊 2y
JenniferEgnor I think the way they‘re written is meant to confuse voters. 2y
CBee @JenniferEgnor I think that is definitely a possibility! 🤦‍♀️ 2y
