WHY MOMMY IS A DEMOCRAT
A different kind of children's book.
Why Mommy is a Democrat brings to life the core values of the Democratic party in ways that young children will easily understand and thoroughly enjoy. Using plain and non-judgmental language, along with warm and whimsical illustrations, this colorful 28-page paperback depicts the Democratic principles of fairness, tolerance, peace, and concern for the well-being of others. It's a great way for parents to gently communicate their commitment to these principles and explain their support for the party.
Why Mommy is a Democrat may look like a traditional children's book, but it definitely isn't just for children. With numerous subtle (and not-so-subtle) satirical swipes at the Bush administration and the Republican party,Why Mommy will appeal to Democrats of all ages!

About the author:
A lifelong Democrat and political activist, I have been teaching and writing about American politics for over a decade. Although Why Mommy is a Democrat is my first children's book, I've previously authored and coauthored numerous political essays and the book Racialized Coverage of Congress: The News in Black and White.
After hearing for years that I should consider writing children's books, I finally decided to give it a try. But I didn't want to write a typical children's story; instead, I set out to write a book that would help parents communicate important political values to their children and offer an underlying theme of political satire for adults. The result, Why Mommy is a Democrat, reflects my passion for progressive politics, my sense of humor, and my academic training in fields such as political psychology and socialization.
Operating on a shoestring budget, I was extremely fortunate to find a gifted and experienced local artist, Yuliya Firsova, who agreed to illustrate the book. Yuliya did a truly marvelous job of bringing my ideas (and some of her own) to life. Thanks to her, the final product exceeds my wildest expectations.
Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, I received a B.A. from Oberlin College and a Ph.D. from Ohio State University. I currently live in Madison, Wisconsin, with my partner Julia, her daughter Isabella (age six), and our cat Zachary -- all lifelong Democrats.
Are mommies' toys battery operated?
"democrats undermine the authority of the head of household (the President) just like mommy does to daddy"
Which one?
Also known as, "Re-education camp instructor training".
This book will not sell as well as 'Theres a liberal under my bed.' And I strongly suspect it was written hastly as a response to it.
And that is the problem, the Democrats see themselves as the country's mommys. I don't need my mommy anymore.
I wonder how many people pay for this book with their assisted living check?
I remember asking my mother this when I was young. She said, "I'm not, I am a Republican!"
If this is for democrats, they'd better put out a books-on-tape edition.
Is Mommy a democrat or a communist?
Improved Sample Pages:
"Democrats make sure we all share our toys, so we are all equally poor."
"Democrats make sure we are always safe, who needs those naughty firearms anyway?"
"Democrats make sure children can go to school, and get the same crappy education."
Democrats will make sure that it stays legal for mommy to murder her unborn babies.
Of course!
"Democrats make sure we all share other people’s toys, just like Mommy does."
"Democrats make sure the terrorists are always safe, just like Mommy does."
"Democrats make sure children can get indoctrinated in socialist values at school, just like Mommy does."
Which mommy are they speaking of? We know that Young Democrats have two mommies!
How sad is that? At least it's honest. It shows that dems, no matter how old, see the government as mommy.
Not man enough to marry her, eh?
Does Mommy take your toys by force and give them to the kids next door, knowing full well they will immediately break them? Well, then I guess Mommy really is a democrat!
And the sequel, "Why You Have Two Mommies".
