(firmenpresse) - Much loved by teachers and parents, the simple children''s translation of the United States Constitution €“ €œ[Constitution Translated for](http://www.amazon.com/Constitution-Translated-Kids-Cathy-Travis-ebook/dp/B01AWZV3LW/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1453655084&sr=1-1&keywords=Constitution+Translated+for+Kids) [Kids](http://www.amazon.com/Constitution-Translated-Kids-Cathy-Travis-ebook/dp/B01AWZV3LW/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1453655084&sr=1-1&keywords=Constitution+Translated+for+Kids)" by Cathy Travis €“ is finally available as an ebook.
The award-winning children''s book (used in hundreds of school districts and thousands libraries across the United States) offers a unique feature: a side-by-side rendition of every word in the Constitution alongside a simple, non-ideological 5th grade translation of the legalistic language in the U.S. founding document.
€œThe central piece of this book has been the side-by-side of the entire Constitution and the 5th grade translation," said author Cathy Travis. "Formatting was hurdle for the digital book, because the translation has to be right beside the original language."
€œThese days our nation is distrustful of sources: who is that, what is their political leaning?" Travis said. €œSo, in ''Constitution Translated for Kids,'' the Constitution is the reader''s original source, right in front of him or her. The whole thing. There''s no picking and choosing what''s important in the Constitution €“ now every single word of it is translated right beside the original language in this book."
Anyone can turn to Travis'' book to see firsthand what the Constitution actually says about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship €¦ and how it set up the United States government.
€œThe Constitution is really pretty simple, in terms of ideas and individual rights for citizens," Travis said. €œBut the 1787 words are hard and legalistic €“ written in the language of lawyers and diplomats. Getting past that makes it easy to understand our only common birthright."
First published in 2006, €œConstitution Translated for Kids" is the winner of the 2011 Gelett Burgess Children''s Book Award for Education (Government and Politics), the €œMom''s Choice Award" (juvenile non-fiction, 2010) and a €œBest Books Award" (2009) €“ and offers a free teacher''s guide.
Cathy Travis, from Jonesboro, Arkansas, spent 25 years in the NFL of Capitol Hill, writing speeches and working with policy makers and reporters each day, telling the story of what Congress was doing. She left Congress in 2008 to devote all her time to writing.
