Welcome to Litsy!

With the election only 2 days away, two books come to mind. The tagged book details America's long history of dirty politics and political machinations. The other is Almost President by Scott Farris. This book is about the men, and women, who ran for president and changed the nation, even though they lost. The author needs to update this to include Donald Trump, who has definitely changed the way people vote, the way campaigns are run ⬇️

“Perhaps someday you will 'toss your hat in the ring' to run for the president of the United States of America!“

This story talks about the election process from the campaign to accepting the job, or how to lose gracefully. This would work greatly in a classroom during a president unit!

This is a wonderful book to help explain the election process to young children. It explains this process in a fun age appropriate way. Very inspiring to teach children to set big goals and dream big!

"Even before the election, Grace made good on her promises"

I really enjoyed that this book could teach students more about the presidential election in a more kid friendly way

Throughout this book Grace's teacher informs the class that there has never been a female president! She decides to run for the class president and has some tough competition!

Did my group save Elturel? No. They joined Zariel, allowed her to destroy Elturel and Baldur‘s Gate and set up a hellhound puppy training school in Avernus

#StorySettings Day 17: The adorable dog, Ike LaRue is running for public #office. I really like how the entire series is a celebration of the unruly, respect for the occasional disarray, and the grudging admiration for Ike‘s capacity to extricate himself from trouble and redeem himself with such panache, humor, and word play.
