Grace for President by Kelly DiPucchio is a story about an elementary school student, Grace, who after learning there had been no female presidents in the past decided to change that. She ran for school president against a popular and talented boy. In the end she won the presidency. I liked this book a lot because it teaches the reader the importance of hard work and motivation. While Thomas, the boy Grace ran against, went about his daily life, Grace campaigned and made changes to the school. When the students cast their votes for president the outcome was not because of gender, but because Grace was the best candidate for the job which is a great message to send kids. Students are capable to anything and this book can show them that they can reach as high as they want. They can even be the President of the United States of America someday.
