Looking for kids books about voting? These 11 books are perfect ways to talk to your children about voting and elections!

Chances are, there is a lot of talk about the upcoming election in your household.  Between grown up conversations, and the news cycle…..a lot of our kids are aware of voting, the voting process and elections for what may be the first time depending on their age.  Lydia is six, and I feel like she's really GRASPING the idea of the election and the presidential election specifically for the first time (last time she was a little too young).  She has a lot of questions.  From trying to understand how voting works, or learning about the unequitable and uninclusive history of voting in our country……there is a LOT to unpack as we talk to our kids about voting.  There is a LOT we can do to help from home leading up to Election Day, but in my opinion? One of the most important things we can do to create long term change? To talk to our children about the voting process.  And y'all know that childrens books are one of my favorite ways to discuss important topics.  So these? 11 kids books about voting.  They're a great jumping off point for this important family conversation.

✨One of my favorite spots on the Disney Wish? The Bayou Lounge.  It’s stunning.  Perfectly detailed, ornate and plush and feels like……..a place you’d love to sit and sip on something fabulous.  There is live music in the evenings, there are beignets all day, and fancy drinks too.  It’s perfect for….one of my favs.

Scroll to see my ride cam and reactions (and a sneak peak at Disney’s first attraction at sea).

Is it scary? No. 
Will kids like it? Yes.
Will adults like it? Yes.
Is it adorable? 100% yes.

Now…..would you ride the Aquamouse? Drop a yes or no in the comments.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀
