Publisher Description: Milly for Mayor is a fictional tale about a small Midwestern farming community that has a mayoral election go hilariously awry. When the citizens realize what has happened, they step up to the challenge to make things work out. That, of course, leads to more problems. The book is aimed at teachers of middle school-age kids as a lesson in the importance of voting. It advocates for no particular political party or platform, but it does expose the apathy, ignorance, and misplaced enthusiasm of the town's citizens for the mayor's race, as well as the ability of people to come together to solve problems when they need to do so. A discussion guide is included to assist teachers, parents, and others who work with youth to start a conversation about ethics, being an informed voter, whether each vote matters, and other learning concepts. |
