About the Book:

Vote for Our Future   

In 2020 alone, 24 million Gen Z voters will become eligible to vote. Research shows that voting is a habitual behavior – people who vote in the first three elections they’re eligible for will most likely vote for the rest of their life. So how can we instill the importance of voting in our kids?

In VOTE FOR OUR FUTURE a charming and powerful picture book about voting and elections, the students of Stanton Elementary School learn how we can find—and use—our voices for change, no matter how old we are!

Every two years, on the first Tuesday of November, Stanton Elementary School closes for the day. For vacation? Nope! For repairs? No way! Stanton Elementary School closes so that it can transform itself into a polling station. People can come from all over to vote for the people who will make laws for the country. Sure, the Stanton Elementary School students might be too young to vote themselves, but that doesn’t mean they can’t encourage their parents, friends, and family to vote! After all, voting is how this country sees change–and by voting today, we can inspire tomorrow’s voters to change the future.
