Baby Is Growing Up - Democracy

Baby Loves: Political Science - Democracy!

Baby has been the main scholar in several books by Ruth Spiro.

But in Democracy, Baby seems to have grown up and in this case she is looking at how our democracy functions.  Just in time for other young scholars to learn how they can get involved.
Baby gets involved in a rally by making signs, and helps by putting stamps on postcards, and bringing cookies to meetings, and although Baby can not vote she goes with Mommy as she does.  Baby learns that the candidate with the most votes win and even if your candidate does not win everyone can still be friends.  And  the best part, "One day Baby will be old enough to vote.  Maybe she will be a candidate and win an election, too."

This book is just in time to inspire young scholars to get involved and look for ways they can be part of our democracy.  Baby Loves Political Science: Democracy belongs in every library and on every child's book shelf.
