Citizen Baby Series

The Citizen Baby series is a joyful, nonpartisan celebration of American democracy that explores how everyday families engage with the institutions that form our government.

Megan Bryant - My Vote

My Vote

Citizen Baby knows a thing or two about voting. It’s important to meet the candidates (they love babies!) and to call voters. Plus, you get a sticker at the polls!

Megan Bryant - My President

My President

What does the president do all day? Citizen Baby knows! Learn all about the most powerful person in the world from the most powerful person in the household.

Megan Bryant - My Congress

My Congress

How does Congress work? A house divided against itself cannot stand, and neither can Citizen Baby (yet!). Come along as Citizen Baby cuts through the partisan rancor to reveal the inner workings of the legislative branch.

Megan Bryant - My Supreme Court

My Supreme Court

What makes the Supreme Court so supreme? Citizen Baby will consider the evidence and rule on what many consider to be the most powerful branch of government.

Bryant and Prosterman don’t lobby to lower the voting age to the single digits. Instead, they provide an adorable explanation of the voting process for those still in car seats, with an emphasis on stickers.
