Dear Michelle and Sharon:
Butterscotch the Guinea Pig realizes that there must be more to life than just being fat and happy. She feels something is missing and discovers a passion for leading others. She wants to run for President of the United States, but wait-- are girls even allowed to be president? Butterscotch and her bird, cat and dog friends are determined to find out the answer as they mount a serious campaign to elect the first Female President of the United States of America.
“THE GUINEA PIG WHO RAN FOR PRESIDENT” has a great hook in the upcoming 2016 elections, as it appears our country will finally have its first viable female presidential candidates. Political issues that real-life candidates are facing are introduced in this picture book, as Butterscotch focuses on climate change for her campaigning platform. Appropriate book comparisons would be any of the Jon J. Muth books, such as Zen Ghosts.
This picture book will appeal to parents, children, political junkies and especially to girls who are excited about the prospect of running for President someday. I say this with confidence as I wrote the original version of this story (which I still have) when I was about seven years old. THE GUINEA PIG WHO RAN FOR PRESIDENT is just under 1,400 words. I have included the first 50 words in this email.
I am a blogger, Mom of four young children and a jazz and classical musician, playing violin and viola in the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic and the Chicago Philharmonic. I am finishing up a comedic novel set in an orchestra, about a violist caught between a Maestro and his polar opposite, a Chicago sports writer. I am also a member of SCWBI.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you,
50 Words:
The Guinea Pig Who Ran For President
Butterscotch was fat and happy, the two most important qualities in a Guinea Pig. Using this checklist, she was a success.
But something was missing. What was it?
Lettuce?
A shoebox with a little door cut out of it?
Butterscotch thought about it while munching on some celery.
Munch, think, munch, think, munch, think.
