About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking why grown-ups are arguing about politics or how leaders are actually chosen. It is a perfect tool for demystifying the stress of election season by wrapping civic lessons in a high-speed, absurdist adventure. The story follows siblings Jenny and Adam as they accidentally summon 100 fairs and a circus to town on the eve of an election, forcing two rival political candidates to cooperate while stuck on a massive roller-coaster. Through the chaos, the book explores themes of fairness, teamwork, and the importance of finding common ground. It is ideally suited for children ages 5 to 9 who enjoy slapstick humor but are ready to start thinking about community and collective decision-making. It turns a potentially dry or divisive topic into an engaging conversation about what it means to be a fair leader.
