"Nguyen and VanderPloeg nail it in this title, and it's easy to see why the project was backed by nonprofits She Should Run and When We All Vote. If you're looking for a children's book on democracy and voting rights that entertains as it educates, this is one that you should absolutely check out... It's a smart and subtle way to introduce these concepts that never feels preachy or pedantic, as some children's books about voting rights can be, and is carried throughout with kid-friendly humor." - Bookstr
