Sofia Valdez and the Vanishing Vote

Narrator Marisa Blake's sweet voice will charm listeners as this next installment of the Questioneers series arrives right on time for the 2020 presidential election. Second-grader Sofia Valdez is named election commissioner when her classmates decide to conduct an election to choose their class pet. Blake's thoughtful tones express Sofia's determination to continually do what is right--even when friends try to influence her and when a vote mysteriously vanishes. Child-friendly topics and easily understood concepts, coupled with Blake's well-paced narration, make this story ideal for any young listener with questions about elections and democracy. Informative tidbits about the Delano Grape Strike, the presidential election process, freedom of the press and journalism, and the importance of voting are a bonus.
