Description

Trade Review“Oversize and well designed, this gets high marks for the integration of art and narrative. Veteran writer Krull provides a substantial text, longer than many in the genre, with the result being a portrait of both a person and the times that shaped her." — Booklist (starred review) “Large, colorful illustrations complement and highlight the text. Zhang captures the look and style of each era in Ginsburg’s life. Employing a strongly admiring tone and accessible language, the author emphasizes Ginsburg’s struggles, strengths, and triumphs. Informative, well-told biography.” — Kirkus Reviews "In this welcome addition to the growing body of Ruth Bader Ginsburg literature for children, Krull offers a detailed account of the Supreme Court justice’s intellectual and professional development. Krull uses small, careful details and anecdotes to personalize Ginsburg’s story, describing how she wore her late mother’s circle pin and earrings for courage as she nervously argued a case before the Supreme Court, while underscoring the impact of her achievements." — Publishers Weekly
