My Teacher for President by Kay Winters, illustrated by Denise Brunkus, Puffin Books, 2004, ISBN 0-525-47186-3
PS: A second-grader writes a television station with reasons why his teacher would make a good president, but only if she can continue teaching till the end of the year.
This is a wonderful book: while describing his teacher's qualifications for president, the student also describes a president's job. Illustrations cleverly show what is meant by each duty and how each person carries it out. (It's amazing how similar the two jobs are!!). Reminds me of the old quote: "A teacher's job is to take a bunch of live wires and make sure they are grounded."
