![]() ![]() Grace doubts that the student council will ever be able to come up with an idea they agree on. Grace realized that the way the student council works is sort of like the three branches of government (with the student council itself like Congress). Woodrow Wilson Elementary’s student council has to decide how to use the money from a bake sale, but they can’t seem to agree. This book provides a fun way for kids to learn about the three branches of government. In this follow-up to New York Times best seller Grace for President, Kelly DiPucchio not only introduces how our government makes decisions, but also shares what it takes to be a true public servant. But she and her classmates have a lot to learn about what it means to serve the needs of the people, especially when the people want such different things! Exploring government buildings and national monuments, Grace feels closer than ever to her dream of becoming president someday. Should they buy new sports equipment? Books for the library? Instruments for the music room? The arguments continue as they travel to Washington, DC, for a field trip. When Grace learns about the three branches of the United States government, she and the rest of the student council put the lesson into practice as they debate how to spend the money from a school fund-raiser. ![]() Published by Disney-Hyperion on September 3, 2019 Grace Goes to Washington by Kelly DiPucchio ![]()
