TEEN AUTHOR JULIETTE TURNER MAKES AGE-OLD DOCUMENT FRESH AND RELEVANT FOR A NEW
GENERATION IN OUR CONSTITUTION ROCKS!

National Youth Director of Constituting America
Unveils debut release September 2012 from Zonderkidz

“Our Constitution Rocks is a fun, informative, and relevant book that will empower
the youth in our country with the knowledge they need to succeed. Juliette Turner may be only 14
years old, but she highlights the importance of the Constitution for her generation and many
to follow.”

—Barbara Bush,  Former First Lady of the United States

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (June 19, 2012)
— Imagine a
world without Twitter, Facebook, iTunes, or television…Little did the Framers
of the United States Constitution know that their work would change the course of history, but that’s exactly what it did. Fourteen-year-old Juliette Turner, the National Youth Director of Constituting America and daughter of actress and Conservative Talk Radio Host Janine Turner, is encouraging her peers to understand the importance of the Constitution and gain a deeper understanding of the document that makes America the greatest nation on earth in her debut release Our Constitution Rocks!.

Releasing nationwide in September, 2012 from Zonderkidz, Our Constitution Rocks! takes a unique look at America’s founding document and makes it relevant to kids today.

“’We the People’ includes kids,” says Juliette.

In Our Constitution Rocks!, readers are invited on a unique journey through the Constitution and discover the historical document in a whole new way. Through fun facts, quotes, cartoons, actual debates, great graphics, and so much more, Juliette breaks down the Constitution, clause by clause, and makes it real and relevant for a new generation.

“It’s not just an old document written by a bunch of men in powdered wigs and tights,” admits Juliette. “It is of utmost importance for kids, the future generation of America, to understand the relevancy of our Constitution, the law of the land. It is America’s road map and guide and without reverence and a working knowledge of it, we will lose our country.”

Great for all ages, including parents and teachers, Our Constitution Rocks! is an easy and fun read that simplifies an age-old historical document by translating it into a current and relevant language. Juliette takes the reader on a historical journey as she breaks down the Constitution into cool categories such as:

• What has it done for me lately?
• Why should I care?
• How can I make a difference?
• Breaking it down
• The Bottom Line
• What were they thinking?

 

Ever since her mother read the Constitution to her on a hammock during spring break, Juliette has been interested in the Constitution and how it affects the future of America. The idea and concept for the book began as a homeschooling assignment where Juliette interpreted ninety essays that had been written by scholars from Constituting America, making them kid-friendly for a younger audience.

Written for kids by a kid, Juliette’s passion and excitement breathes new life into an old document and reminds readers why it remains one of the most important documents in world history.

The informative and fun book is also supported by a number of reputable political figures such as Barbara and Laura Bush, Jack Quinn, the Former White House Counsel under President Bill Clinton and more.

With our national debt at $15.4 trillion, unemployment at 22.5 million, and our gross debt to GDP ratio at 102.9 percentit feels like America is digging itself ever-deeper into a hole of destruction.

Economist Peter Ferrara in Forbes magazine cites the fact that, last year, America’s average economic growth was a mere 1.3 percent. If America continues on this path, our standards of living will decrease by 20 percent. Doomsday doesn’t seem too far away, does it?

Amidst these depressing statistics, North Dakota is the silver lining. It currently has at least $1 billion in budget reserves and has the nation’s lowest unemployment rate at 3.3 percent. What has caused North Dakota’s economic boom? Oil.
