Kids books about Voting & Elections

Every 4 years, our country experiences the privilege to elect our next government leaders & the President of the United States. It's an opportunity & a privilege, which we should teach our children more about. 
As with many topics, I feel that reading picture books helps explain difficult concepts & perhaps also raises questions from our children that can help to further educate them on these subjects.  Many of these books are pretty basic, because I have such young kids, but I found a couple of books that are more complex & descriptive of the election process. 
Please enjoy these 14 books I've selected & feel free to comment & share any voting books you have particularly enjoyed!
