Sanders
addresses young people and describes the issues he is most passionate about --
health care reform, climate change, economic equality, Wall Street reform,
higher eduction, immigration. He explains the need for economic justice and
other changes he feels should be made in language that a middle-school student
will understand. The illustrations help to break up the text and keep it from
becoming too dense and dry for the reader. At times the illustrations also add
a modicum of humor, which is most welcome. There are issues Bernie steers clear
of, such as the US's involvement in wars, but he does a good job with the
issues he decides to take on. The index and general organization of the book
are good. This should be included in every collection serving young people, as
Bernie Sanders' campaign appealed to many young people and should be available
for people to learn about.
Summary:
In this heartfelt appeal to young readers, Bernie Sanders makes his case for a
kinder, more just America.
