(3) K-3 Illustrated by Don Tate. This poignant picture book depicts a Black mother's first time voting in 1969, after years of fighting voter suppression. Through her two young sons' eyes, readers experience the significance, nervousness, and pride of this empowering moment. The clean, cartoony illustrations capture the emotion and excitement. The story highlights the power of voting, change, and hope for future generations. Author and illustrator notes offer additional historical context, enhancing the book's impact.
