A SLEW of children’s political books has crowded US booksellers’ shelves as partisan authors peddle their opposing liberal and conservative beliefs to an audience that is much too young to vote.
“Some daddies are called Democrats. Do you know why your daddy is a Democrat?” writes Jeremy Zilber in his book due out next month, Why Daddy is a Democrat.
“I think it’s good for parents to talk to their kids about politics,” says Zilber, who estimates he has sold 24,000 copies of the first in the series, Why Mommy is a Democrat, a self-published, 28-page primer on liberal values.
“It’s important to start getting them interested in politics at a young age because so many of our interests are formed in childhood.”
What do you make of it?
