Kash Patel's Children's Books Turn Politics into Fairy Tales
Kash Patel, who used to work in government, wrote a series of children's books that turned real-life politics into stories for kids.

The books are seen by some as a fun way for kids to learn about the world.

The stories often simplify complicated issues and present them in a good-versus-evil format.

The books present political events as fairy tales.
The first book was released in May 2022 and the last one in 2024.
