Grace for President written by Kelly DiPucchio and illustrated by LeUyen Pham starts with the question, "Where are the girls?" Grace asks this question when her teacher, Mrs. Barrington, rolls out a poster with all of the president's pictures on it. Then after much thought, Grace announces she would like to be president. And that's when the fun begins.
This is a great book on several different levels. Not only does it demonstrate that we should all be picking our leaders based on who we think will do the best job (not just who is the most popular), but it also does a great job describing the election process. (In the back is a description of the Electoral College.)
Favorite line: "No girl president? EVER?" Grace asked.
