But the race is tougher than she expected. This timely story not only gives readers a fun introduction to the American electoral system but also teaches the value of hard work, courage, and independent thought—and offers an inspiring example of how to choose our leaders. When Grace learns about the three branches of the United States government, she and the rest of the student council put the lesson into practice as they debate how to spend the money from a school fundraiser. But she and her classmates have a lot to learn about what it means to serve the needs of the people, especially when the people want such different things! Manuela loves the color of her skin and sits out in the sun to watch it darken, but there is this little drop of water who is very jealous of it. This story conveys a flurry of evocative words that describe the richness and beauty we find all around us. Collages of the sea, sun, clouds, wind, and rain are accentuated with simple, poetic text and delicate drawings of plants, animals, and landscapes to create a fantastic array of images.
