Gooney Bird Greene

Illustrated by Middy Thomas
Audience: 1st Grade - 3rd Grade
Gooney Bird Greene needs to be in the center of everything, from her seat in the classroom, to conversations, and of course, in telling 'absolutely true' stories.

Illustrated by Leuyen Pham
Audience: 1st Grade - 3rd Grade
When Grace's teacher puts a poster up in her classroom with pictures of all the US Presidents, Grace is surprised and unhappy to see that there has been no woman President.

Her teacher suggests that the school run an election just like the United States' Presidential election, using students to represent the states. Grace, of course, will run.
