Description
A is for All, B is for Branch, C is for Common Good. An ABC of Democracy introduces complicated concepts surrounding politics and government to the youngest of children.
Everyone has the right to be treated fairly, no matter who they are, what they look like, or where they come from. From A to Z, simple explanations accompanied by engaging artwork teach children about the world we live in and how to navigate our way through it.
Each right-hand page includes a brightly decorated letter with the word it stands for and an encouraging slogan. On the left, a colourful illustration and bite-size text sum up the concept. Cheerful people from a range of backgrounds, ethnicities and abilities lead the way through the alphabet.
F is for Freedom. We all deserve to be free to choose.
P is for People Power. When we come together, we can achieve incredible things!
V is for Vote. Everyone should be able to have their say.
W is for World. Democracy looks different all around the globe.
A follow-up to the bestselling An ABC of Equality, this beautiful book will teach the youngest of readers about liberty and justice for all.

I love these books. They're a brilliant, fun, vibrant style. Like the others in the series, the book looks at one specific theme/ topic and then with the help of the alphabet helps children to understand what that theme really means through the use of specific vocabulary, The vocabulary isn't simplified but each term is expertly explained so that a young audience can grasp the meaning. The illustrations help to embed the meaning of the vocabulary that is being explained. I really liked the call out at the start of the book to write letters to leaders and protest in what you believe in.

I felt this worked extremely well as a basic introduction to some complex issues. Key points about democracy and how it works are dealt with, alongside ways even those who cannot vote yet, can get their voices heard. It's bright and bold illustrations, together with clear and simple text make it very accessible and engaging. A book that can be independently read, or used to discuss key issues around democracy with children.
