The book speaks directly to an America in which civic knowledge is alarmingly sparse and many people dread politics. It's intended to be a tool for parents, educators, and anyone eager to fill this gap. Cormack offers an engaging and practical approach to discussing political issues and the inner workings of the U.S. government with children. She explains why our schools can no longer be the sites of civic education that they used to be and provides parents with strategies to be able to impart these lessons to their children. From the intricacies of the voting process to the foundational principles of democracy and the significance of key government documents like the Constitution, the author seeks to demystify complex topics with clarity and insight.
