Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Case of R.B.G. vs. Inequality
Why we picked it
Styled like a courtroom drama with evidence exhibits, this picture book shows how young Ruth fought barriers with books, grit, and a determination to dissent.
Our review
Styled like a courtroom drama, each “exhibit” shows how young Ruth fought barriers with books, grit, and dissent. Playful yet powerful art juxtaposes tiny Ruth against giant injustices, visually underscoring her determination. The narrative vocabulary (plaintiff, defendant) doubles as a mini-lesson in legal language. Inspires children to speak up when “that’s not fair!”
