Book excerpt: If America goes down the tubes, it will be because voters send their Child into the voting booth to vote Parents into political office while their rational Adult sits out in the car. In The Child in the Voting Booth, Dr. Ray Smith attempts to educate the Adult in voters in hopes their rational Adult will come in and take charge. In clear and often humorous language, the author gives numerous examples of the disasters that follow when a government assumes Parental control of its citizens' morality or of a nation's economy. The Prohibition amendment ended up with more Americans of every sex and age drinking than ever before. The present war on drugs has set off an historical drug orgy clear across America. Former laws against men touching each other yielded 4 times more men in bed together. Laws limiting a woman's decisions regarding her uterus, kill 125 times more women per unit termination. The lesson is that all governmentally Parented moral 'misbehavior' continues, and gets worse, until the government Parenting stops. When governments try to Parent the economy by running and controlling it, the economy always goes straight to hell, according to Smith. The Child in the Voting Booth is often funny, frequently alarming, and always sobering. As an added bonus Dr. Smith shares with you what your neighbors are doing in the bedroom... and in the alley out behind the house. Dr. Smith is a licensed psychologist who formerly taught Transactional Analysis to hundreds of supervisory and management level personnel in the District of Columbia Government. He also practiced Transactional Analytical therapy with numerous psychotherapy groups in the District's Mental Health Administration. After receiving his Ph.D. in physiological psychology at the University of Texas, he taught in the Psychology Department at the State University of New York in Courtland. He then became a Senior Research Scientist at American University's Center for Research in Social Systems, before receiving a grant from the National Institutes of Health to head up research at the District Government's 600 bed Rehabilitation Center for Alcoholics. He is now in private practice as a research consultant. He lives on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland with four friends and his lobster, Ralph.

Book excerpt: An elderly African American woman, en route to vote, remembers her family’s tumultuous voting history in this picture book publishing in time for the fiftieth anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As Lillian, a one-hundred-year-old African American woman, makes a “long haul up a steep hill” to her polling place, she sees more than trees and sky—she sees her family’s history. She sees the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment and her great-grandfather voting for the first time. She sees her parents trying to register to vote. And she sees herself marching in a protest from Selma to Montgomery. Veteran bestselling picture-book author Jonah Winter and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award winner Shane W. Evans vividly recall America’s battle for civil rights in this lyrical, poignant account of one woman’s fierce determination to make it up the hill and make her voice heard. "Moving.... Stirs up a potent mixture of grief, anger, and pride at the history of black people’s fight for access to the ballot box." —The New York Times "A much-needed picture book that will enlighten a new generation about battles won and a timely call to uphold these victories in the present." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred "A valuable introduction to and overview of the civil rights movement." —Publishers Weekly, Starred "An important book that will give you goose bumps." —Booklist, Starred

Book excerpt: Shortlist, Goddard Riverside/CBC Young People's Book Prize for Social Justice This critical civil rights book for middle-graders examines the little-known Tennessee's Fayette County Tent City Movement in the late 1950s and reveals what is possible when people unite and fight for the right to vote. Powerfully conveyed through interconnected stories and told through the eyes of a child, this book combines poetry, prose, and stunning illustrations to shine light on this forgotten history. The late 1950s was a turbulent time in Fayette County, Tennessee. Black and White children went to different schools. Jim Crow signs hung high. And while Black hands in Fayette were free to work in the nearby fields as sharecroppers, the same Black hands were barred from casting ballots in public elections. If they dared to vote, they faced threats of violence by the local Ku Klux Klan or White citizens. It wasn't until Black landowners organized registration drives to help Black citizens vote did change begin--but not without White farmers' attempts to prevent it. They violently evicted Black sharecroppers off their land, leaving families stranded and forced to live in tents. White shopkeepers blacklisted these families, refusing to sell them groceries, clothes, and other necessities. But the voiceless did finally speak, culminating in the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which legally ended voter discrimination. Perfect for young readers, teachers/librarians, and parents interested in books for kids with themes of: Activism Social justice Civil rights Black history

Book excerpt: From Stonewall Award winner Brandy Colbert comes a novel about first love, family, and hidden secrets that will stay with you long after turning the last page. Dove "Birdie" Randolph works hard to be the perfect daughter and follow the path her parents have laid out for her: She quit playing her beloved soccer, she keeps her nose buried in textbooks, and she's on track to finish high school at the top of her class. But then Birdie falls hard for Booker, a sweet boy with a troubled past . . . whom she knows her parents will never approve of. When her estranged aunt Carlene returns to Chicago and moves into the family's apartment above their hair salon, Birdie notices the tension building at home. Carlene is sweet, friendly, and open-minded -- she's also spent decades in and out of treatment facilities for addiction. As Birdie becomes closer to both Booker and Carlene, she yearns to spread her wings. But when long-buried secrets rise to the surface, everything she's known to be true is turned upside down.
