It’s Election Day (And One of These Books Will Soon Be Real)
A couple weeks back I received an email from Running Kids Press about The New Big Book of Presidents. Pretty much every library has this book (or something similar from another publisher). It is the one-stop-shop for all presidential info.
An updated version will be released in January to reflect the winner of the 2016 presidential election. Things will go one of two ways.

I’ve been taking this election seriously for a looong time, but for some reason this image made the stakes real to me in a way that they hadn’t quite been before.
After today, one of these books will head to the printer. Which will it be?

Didn’t expect it to be the one on the right.
As a fellow Michigan resident (and librarian), I kind of felt Donald Trump might surprise the nation with his showing in the Mid-West… good thing Running Kids Press didn’t pull a “Dewey defeats Truman” and jump the gun on printing the Clinton books.
It is the one on the right.
