Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the realization that the world isn't always fair, or when they need to see how quiet persistence can lead to monumental change.

It is an empowering choice for children who feel small or unheard. Through the lens of justice and resilience, the story follows Ruth from her childhood in Brooklyn through her time as a 'super-bright' student who was told she didn't belong in law school, to her seat on the Supreme Court.
