But my fave is this one: We the People: A Call to Take Back America - Amazon

It's graphic novel about our government & Constitution. The first part is a bit dated, from back in the Bush years, but it covers concepts like government by the people & corporate personhood. It also covers our early history with tyranny & sedition. It's a great primer for adults & a wonderful book for kids.
