Author DeBrecht was inspired to write the book—which is illustrated by Reuben Award winning artist Jim Hummel—when her young son questioned her about why she was supporting George W. Bush in the 2000 election. “Because the harder Daddy works and the more money he makes, the more money liberals want to take out of his pocket,” Debrecht said. When her son then peered under the bed and asked “Where are these liberals, Mom?” the 'Help! Mom!' series was born.

Liberal pundit Alan Colmes has blasted the book as “brainwashing” on his radio show, and the usually staid Wall Street Journal called it “politically abrasive children's literature,” but Jackson dismisses complaints that the picture book's politics are too brazen for the Barney set.

“Liberals have been indoctrinating America's kids by stealth for years,” scoffs Jackson. [Hillary Clinton Becomes Cartoon Villain]
