Announcing Victor Juhasz Illustrator of D is for Democracy: A Citizen’s Alphabet
Signing in Booth 2356 (Thomson Gale) Sunday, June 27th from 1:30 to 3:30 Please ask for a free D is for Democracy T-shirt (limited supplies)
“D is for Democracy is the little book that should: Be a part of every child’s library, be required reading for every member of Congress and inspire every American to get involved in promoting the uniquely American values that shine through all the letters on every page of this wonderful book.” —Phil Donahue
“Elissa Grodin’s beautiful new book will inspire and enlighten citizens of all ages about our precious democracy. She has an extraordinary gift for making learning a joyful experience.” —Mario Cuomo
“Z is for zeitgeist?” I always check the z entry of an alphabet book first, and was I in for a surprise when I looked at the last letter in D is for Democracy! The use of the term “zeitgeist” puts a brilliant cap on this look at the fundamental rights and responsibilities of living in a democracy. Yes, it’s an ABC book, but one with a solid commitment to democratic ideals and the belief that, as stated in “Q is for Questions” that “Taking part in a democracy is every citizen’s task.” By Elissa Grodin, with illustrations by Victor Juhasz | 1-58536-234-4 | $16.95 —Walter M. Mayes aka Walter the Giant Storyteller
