A 2021 YALSA EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION FINALIST America is the
greatest democracy in the world . . . isn't it? Author Elizabeth
Rusch examines some of the more problematic aspects of our
government but, more importantly, offers ways for young people to
fix them. The political landscape has never been so tumultuous:
issues with the electoral college, gerrymandering, voter
suppression, and a lack of representation in the polls and in our
leadership have led to Americans of all ages asking, How did we get
here? The power to change lies with the citizens of this great
country--especially teens! Rather than pointing fingers at people
and political parties, You Call This Democracy? looks at flaws in
the system--and offers a real way out of the mess we are in. Each
chapter breaks down a different problem plaguing American
democracy, exploring how it's undemocratic, offering possible
solutions (with examples of real-life teens who have already
started working toward them), and suggesting ways to effect
change--starting NOW!

to find them. The book also includes science and more information

Meet Flo, a glacier, as she shows you what the life of a glacier is
like in this picture book filled with fun facts, from what glaciers
are and how they’re formed to what creatures live there, and
more. Glaciers exist on every continent on earth, growing,
spreading, and shrinking over thousands of years. But what are
they, and how are they formed? Glacier on the Move tells the story
of a glacier named Flo and her slow-motion race to the sea, from
the edge of an ice field and down steep cliffs, to muscling her way
around mountains, and stretching into a valley. With the help of
some iceworms in the margins, Flo reveals how glaciers move, change
shape, and provide for the surrounding world and animals. Blending
fascinating science facts with dynamic illustrations, Glacier on
the Move introduces young readers to glacial history and science in
a captivating and unique way.
