The Day Gogo Went to Vote


The Day Gogo Went to Vote

"Thembi accompanies her hundred-year-old great-grandmother to the polling place in the first election in which black South Africans are allowed to vote. Infirm and housebound, Gogo is determined to vote and does so with a little help from her community. Excellent pastel pictures capture the happy occasion."

Parent's Choice Review

This book can be used as an avenue to explore the history of voting in other countries and compare that history with that of the United States.
