In Benjamin Franklin's words, "if you can keep it" loom large before us as one thing after another tests this nation's ability to long endure, Covid 19 being the latest. Social media tends to make us think that we are not enough, that we are too divided and self-centered to continue to form a more perfect Union. While not ignoring the issues before our government and the private sector, this book believes that our nation and its people have what it takes to keep our sovereignty, to be both competent and compassionate citizens, and to continue to achieve the American Dream. The author and illustrator challenge us to think about our government, its role in our lives, suggestions to improve it, and our part in making sure it is secure for future generations. As they do so, we are introduced to a group of high school students who did their part to improve our government, the study of it, and public high school education; and to the story of The Pod, whose civil discourse rivals that of the Founding Fathers, and who refuse to let the divisiveness, hatred, and negativity of this world have the final say - for their families, for each other, and for this nation.
