Editorial Reviews:

"Where are the girls?"
 
When Grace's teacher reveals that the United States has never had a female president, Grace decides to be the first.  And she immediately starts off her political career as a candidate the school's mock election.  But soon, she realizes that she has entered a tough race.  Her popular opponent claims to be the "best man for the job"--and seems to have captured all the male votes--while Grace concentrates on being the best person.
 
In this timely story, author Kelly DiPucchio not only gives readers a fun introduction to the American electoral system, but also teaches them the value of hard work, courage, and independent thought--and offers an inspiring example of how to choose our leaders.

Summary: The cutest and likable
Comment: Grace for President was a likable story. My 8 year old enjoyed reading it. Grace and her schoolmates are the cutest. This book is wonderful, it's colorful and easy for children to understand. I can see more children running for class president after reading this likable and loving story.

Summary: I wish there were more books like this....
Comment: This book is fabulous. I love the message of teaching our children to reach for their dreams and not be discouraged by social injustice (as Grace is female and African American). It has just the right mix of educational facts and entertainment all tied up with messages of "reach for your dreams" and "do the honorable thing" (voting for the best person rather than along gender lines). As other reviewers stated it is so timely. I am so excited about the current election because of what it represents, but haven't been able to spread that enthusiasm to my five year old daughter named Grace. This book did the trick.

Summary: Girls of the USA - believe!
Comment: Three generations of females in my family (ages 6, 26, and 65) are thrilled by this story!
Buy it now, in this election year in the US, if you've got any girls in your family.

Summary: Really resonates.
Comment: Of all the "election" books I could find, this one really stood out as being entertaining, informative, and extremely insightful. While Hillary's run is now over, the book subtely points out that at our most basic level we identify with our gender over other differences; and the use of Wyoming, "The Equality State", to overcome the gender bias is really well-done. The character Grace's honest incredulity that there has never been a woman president despite the obvious 50/50 split of girls and boys resonates in a sweet way.
