Grace for President by Kelly DiPucchio
Grace for President by Kelly DiPucchio, reviewed by Cheryl Kay, Hoyt Library Children’s Department
(Hyperion Books for Children, 2008, $15.99, unpaged)
Recommended for ages 5 - 9.
When Grace finds out that the United States has never had a girl for president, Grace decides she is going to be the first. And to start her political career, Grace becomes a candidate in the school’s mock election. With the boys having more of the electoral votes than the girls, how can Grace win over her opponent who claims to be the “best man for the job?”
This is a fun story that tells not only about how the American electoral system works but how, with hard work and determination, even a girl can be president.
