We are in the midst of an exciting election season. In November, we will learn who will be elected the 47th President of the United States. It may take a day or more after Election Day on November 5 to learn the winner.
Voting is a serious responsibility for American citizens. It is a fact that many historical figures such as Ida B. Wells, John Lewis, and Fannie Lou Hamer have championed the right to vote for women and Black Americans. Modern activist Stacey Abrams is still on top of voting laws in Georgia and elsewhere. See “It’s Time to Vote: 28 Picture Books” and “It’s Time to Vote: 24 Chapter, MG, and YA Books” for their stories and other books about voting.
The list below, however, features only books by or about Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate. They are nonfiction picture, chapter, and YA books, and they are perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about the potential next president of the United States. Get one or more for your classroom, home, and community centers. Also, check I Will Vote to see if your voter registration is in good standing, or use the same link to register to vote.
