YOU'RE NEVER TOO YOUNG
TO BE POLITICAL!
Jeremy Zilber has written a Childrens Book called WHY MOMMY IS A DEMOCRAT. Zilber's bio is below, which also explains why he wrote the book. Thanks to Amos Smith for sending me the link. You can find out more about the book and see some "sample" pages at http://littledemocrats.net/samples.html
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
A lifelong Democrat and political activist, I have been teaching and writing about American politics for over a decade. Although Why Mommy is a Democrat is my first children's book, I've previously authored and coauthored numerous political essays and the book Racialized Coverage of Congress: The News in Black and White. After hearing for years that I should consider writing children's books, I finally decided to give it a try. But I didn't want to write a typical children's story; instead, I set out to write a book that would help parents communicate important political values to their children and offer an underlying theme of political satire for adults. The result, Why Mommy is a Democrat, reflects my passion for progressive politics, my sense of humor, and my academic training in fields such as political psychology and socialization.Operating on a shoestring budget, I was extremely fortunate to find a gifted and experienced local artist, Yuliya Firsova, who agreed to illustrate the book. Yuliya did a truly marvelous job of bringing my ideas (and some of her own) to life. Thanks to her, the final product exceeds my wildest expectations.Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, I received a B.A. from Oberlin College and a Ph.D. from Ohio State University. I currently live in Madison, Wisconsin, with my partner Julia, her daughter Isabella (age eight), and our cat Zachary -- all lifelong Democrats. Zilber's next book is entitled WHY MOMMY IS A SLUT!
