A Woman for President?

You Bet! Just read Lane Smith's new book "Madam President" for a glimpse at what little girls can aspire to. My favorite part is her rendition of "Hail to the Chief." Reserve a copy here to read for yourself. You'll be humming it all day long!

You might remember Lane's other great book "John, Paul, George, & Ben" as well as his illustrations in Jon Sciezka's "The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales."


From bn.com: "A little girl imagines what her day would be like if she were Madam President. There would be executive orders to give, babies to kiss, tuna casseroles to veto (or VETO!)...and so much more! Not to mention that recess would definitely require more security. With deadpan wit and hilarious illustrations, best-selling picture book creator Lane Smith introduces readers to an unforgettable new character."
