A right isn't right
Till it's granted to all
Through rhyming verse, this book provides a look at the history of voting rights in America. While representation was supposed to be a strength of our new nation, in truth only white men who owned property were initially able to vote. But over the years, through the struggles and efforts of many people, more and more Americans were able to vote and make their voice heard.
This wonderful book is a testament to the countless individuals who fought and marched so their voice could be counted. The refrain 'a right isn't right/till it's granted to all' is repeated throughout the book as a growing crowd of people march across the page.
