Mommy, What Does Trump Mean?

Mommy, What Does Trump Mean? is not merely a children's book, nor is it just a parents' book: it is a children-and-parents' book. For better or worse, President Donald Trump's name is constantly on everybody's lips, in everyone's ears, and on every mother's son's mind-including the lips, ears, and minds of our kids. Mommy, What Does Trump Mean? is written with this dynamic in mind, and is therefore meant to be read by parents to children and children to parents so both can come to a shared understanding about He-Who-Is-Constantly-Named. Through a dialogue between a mother and her young son, this evocatively illustrated and timely book provides a heartfelt (though humorously roundabout) explanation to young children as to why they are constantly hearing the word 'trump' in their daily lives, but it does so in a tongue-in-cheek manner that will likely escape the notice of kids and delight their parents. Most importantly, Mommy, What Does Trump Mean? is a much-needed discussion starter for parent and child, a jumping off point from whence they can launch into a conversation about what is different about our current presidency, why we ought to care, and how parents and children can be active participants in this historical moment together.
