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.

Each chapter outlines how decisions and cases have affected the daily lives and rights of U.S. citizens.  It's a great way to show the importance of voting and how elections have a long term effect!

This is for all of us who sucked at PE. Running D This is for all of us who sucked at PE.Running Diaries: through my childhood memories.  Growing up, I was….not good at PE.  Or organized sports.  I tried.  It literally felt like torture.  To this day, I’m terrified of being hit by a ball (it made yard duty as a teacher…..a little scary). Somehow, this translated to me believing I wasn’t “athletic” or strong. Here’s to reframing that perspective in my mid 40s.  It’s never too late.May movement bring you joy instead of shame.  May it be a love letter to your body and all she’s carried you through.signed, your curvy running buddy
