Our Congress

An unconventional tour of the US Capitol helps a girl understand how Congress works and why it's so important. When her mom gets elected to the US House of Representatives, Alice can't help feeling disappointed. She wonders what's so important about Congress that it would make her mom want to move all the way to Washington, DC. But with the aid of some famous historical figures, friendly government workers, and a ghostly cat, Alice sets off on a once-in-a-lifetime guided tour of the Capitol that opens her eyes to the ways Congress has shaped our nation throughout history, and how it continues to impact life for every American today.
