I think that these problems arise because of a heedlessness to children's welfare, even from those who are directly charged with looking out for kids.
I think we did not include children back 100 years ago when we were extending the right to vote to women. We did not include them more recently when we lowered the voting age to 18.
I think really this is a story about the fact that kids are able, they have a stake, and they ought to have a right, too, to have their voice heard in this country.
And I say, well, what are those issues? Well, gun control, trans rights, global warming, social media.
And I think, you know, what this book is about, it does start with an incredibly bold idea. It's the notion that to create the America that we all want, we need to put children first.
