Drawing the Vote: An Illustrated Guide to Voting in America by Tommy Jenkins

informative slow-paced

3.5

This graphic nonfiction/comic style history of voting in the USA was certainly interesting and touched on a lot of people and definitions. I loved the simple style and the lettering was super cute, in my opinion. It did read slower and some parts definitely were more interesting than others. We start with the author grappling with why people weren’t excited to vote in 2016 to right into the Revolutionary War to today and how voting rights have changed and been fought for over time. Overall it can be a little bit of a lecture on the importance of voting so I don’t know how many teens will connect with this but I dug it.
