Eleanor Roosevelt's book on citizenship for young people now revised
and updated for a contemporary audience.
In the voice of one of the most iconic and beloved political figures of
the twentieth century comes a book on citizenship for the future voters
of the twenty-first century. Eleanor Roosevelt published the original
edition of When You Grow Up to Vote in 1932, the same year her husband
was elected president. The new edition has updated information and back
matter as well as fresh, bold art from award-winning artist Grace Lin.
Beginning with government workers like firefighters and garbage
collectors, and moving up through local government to the national
stage, this book explains that the people in government work the voter.
Fresh, contemporary, and even fun, When You Grow Up to Vote is the
book parents and teachers need to talk to children about how our
government is designed to work.
