Election Day Picture Books

Here’s a list of my favorite Election Day picture books to read aloud (all the following are Amazon Affiliate links).

Grace For President

This one is a total classic during the Election Day season.

Grace’s class is having an election for class president…. and Grace learns that there has never been a female president in the United States.

Grace sets out to win her class election through hard work and being a leader.

Grace For President is all about following your dreams, challenging gender roles, and being a leader.

And the ending makes me cry. I LOVE this one.

Lillian’s Right to Vote

I chose this book because it showcases the hardships that Blacks faced to get the right to vote.

Lillian is a Black woman during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, on her way to vote.

While on her way to vote, she remembers the sacrifices that her ancestors went through due to slavery and discrimination.

This moving book shows the history of the Civil Rights Movement and the enormous difficulties that people went through for the right to vote, as well as the perseverance to get that vote.
