Wade Hudson’s THE DAY MADEAR VOTED captures the reality of one family led by a mother who, “wearing one of her best dresses” on an ordinary Tuesday, heads to vote. Author and character alert us to the “obstacles” that have kept people of color from voting and their existence is clear as illustrator Don Tate captures the mean looks that follow her at the polling place. The illustrations and text also record her elation after voting when “there was a bounce in Madear’s every step. The sun seemed to take notice and shined its rays to spotlight her. She looked as if she could fly.” There’s more information about this book in the purchase link below.
