Objective: This study examines political values in selected children’s books authored by American political and public figures. It analyzes how children’s literature conveys values, identities, and political narratives through simple and symbolic narratives for young audiences.

Method: The study adopts a qualitative approach based on directed content analysis and document review. It focuses on works by Dan Crenshaw, Kash Patel, Dana Loesch, and Ben Carson published by Brave Books, as well as a comparative case analysis of Barack Obama’s Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters and Kamala Harris’s Superheroes Are Everywhere. Works by Chelsea Clinton and Jill Biden are also discussed as contextual examples. The selected texts are analyzed in terms of narrative techniques, value patterns, and social, cultural, and political themes, with attention to allegory, anthropomorphic characterization, and symbolic representations.

Results: The findings indicate that these books function beyond entertainment as means of communicating political values, contributing to political socialization and public image construction. In the cases examined, themes including patriotism, civic responsibility, perseverance, religious faith, gun rights, and critiques of cancel culture and political opponents are translated into simplified narratives. The study concludes that these works can become arenas for representing and contesting ideological discourses.
