Owlbert Learns To Vote
Charleston County, SC creates award-winning children’s book
By M. Mindy Moretti

As with so many good things, it started with a sticker.
Following the enthusiastic response to the launch of “Future Voter” stickers in 2022, the Charleston County, South Carolina Board of Voter Registration and Elections (BVRE) recognized the desire among young families to learn how to teach their children about democracy in a relatable and accessible way.
But even before then, BVRE Executive Director Isaac Cramer had been dreaming, and planning.
“In 2021, I shared with the Library Director that I hoped to one day create a children’s book about voting. I knew the library team lived and breathed children’s content, and they would be the right experts to help bring it to life,” Cramer explained. “I had the idea, the overall plot, and the goals for what I wanted the story to teach. From there, the library team asked thoughtful questions that helped shape the direction of the book.”
Enter the award-winning Owlbert Learns to Vote, a story featuring the library’s mascot, Owlbert.
