Each month, the students in Miss Brady’s class vote for a new class president. Upon winning, Cooper immediately makes some changes, handing out extra snacks…but only to those who voted for him. Cooper shirks his presidential responsibilities and favors some students over others. Soon, he is making rules for the whole school: Students must wear Cooper’s favorite colors, and the cafeteria serves only the food he likes. This leads to discontent (“I voted for him, but he isn’t doing anything for me,” “He only cares about himself”) and collective action (“Let’s just vote him out.” “Can we do that?”). Once Gracie is elected, Cooper is immediately contrite (“I think maybe I let my presidential power go to my head”). His classmates’ swift forgiveness feels as implausible as most of the scenarios depicted: Readers may wonder why Miss Brady never intervenes as Cooper rules the school. Still, González’s cartoon illustrations of big-headed, expressive students are effective, and on the whole the story does a solid job of championing the democratic process. Cooper is light-skinned with brown hair, blue eyes, and freckles; the rest of the class is diverse in skin tone and skin color.
