This episode is a call to action for U.S. citizens eligible to vote, and a reminder to listeners everywhere that voting is your superpower. If you are a U.S. citizen eligible to vote in the upcoming presidential election, please do so! For information about how to vote, visit https://www.vote.org/. In this special 3-part series, some of your favorite Jewish kidlit authors will be sharing why they vote and they'll give some recommendations for ways to keep our democracy healthy.

In each episode of The Book of Life, I ask guests to suggest a tikkun olam action, a way to help repair the world. This special series is MY tikkun olam action. Please help me inspire more people to vote by sharing this podcast as widely as you can, today.

By the way, you should always assume that the opinions expressed on The Book of Life podcast are not necessarily those of our host organization, Congregation B'nai Israel of Boca Raton, Florida, but because this episode is more political than most, I'll just remind you of that fact right now.

Guest authors include:

• Marjorie Ingall, author of Mamaleh Knows Best
• Linda Epstein, author of Repairing the World
• Jeff Gottesfeld, author of No Steps Behind
• Leslie Kimmelman, author of The Eight Knights of Hanukkah
• Susan Kusel, author of The Passover Guest
• Tziporah Cohen, author of No Vacancy
