What is If I Were Prime Minister about?

What would happen if a child became prime minister? This imaginative boy has plenty of ideas: adults would visit nursery to remember how to play, Christmas lights would shine all year to help everyone feel safe, and anyone who wanted a dog or a friend would get one. With playful suggestions and thoughtful observations, he reimagines a kinder, happier world where grown-ups listen to children and big changes can begin with small, joyful ideas.
