Details

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the adult books The Residence and First Women and the middle grade nonfiction book Exploring the White House comes an in-depth look at what the Capitol building and all the people who work there mean to government, to history, and to the future of the United States and its democracy.

There’s much more to the Capitol building than meets the eye. The first stone was laid by George Washington himself, and the building stands today as a symbol of the oldest democracy in the world. In this physical home of America’s legislative branch, senators and representatives fight to pass laws they believe in.

There is a hidden universe inside the Capitol, and in this book, #1 New York Times bestselling author Kate Andersen Brower highlights the historic firsts, the building’s restricted nooks and crannies, and the staffers—from pages to doorkeepers and librarians—who ensure that American democracy stays on track.

Time line. Selected bibliography. Recommended reading. Chapter notes. Maps. Black-and-white reproductions and photographs.
