The book you wish you had as a kid!
Policy wonks love the Constitution, digging into and interpreting its dense language and arguing about the intended meaning of various articles and sections.
But what about the rest of us? We want to play too. That’s what this book is for — now kids (and adults) can dig into the Constitution.
In this book:
We break it down, tell stories, and engage with the Constitution. It’s not the whole story (we could never cover all the info or every possible interpretation) but it gets into each and every article and amendment with fun facts, stories, and the basic idea in regular language.
We created the book we wish we’d had as kids— the Constitution is full of fancy language but also full of really important, inspiring, and sometimes infuriating, stuff! It’s the Constitution, made fun.
