Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a modern feminist icon—a leader in the fight for equal treatment of girls and women in society and the workplace. She blazed trails to the peaks of the male-centric worlds of education and law, where women had rarely risen before.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg has often said that true and lasting change in society and law is accomplished slowly, one step at a time. This is how she has evolved, too. Step by step, the shy little girl became a child who questioned unfairness, who became a student who persisted despite obstacles, who became an advocate who resisted injustice, who became a judge who revered the rule of law, who became…RBG.

Whitney Gardner is an author, illustrator, and coffee addict. Originally from New York, she studied design and worked as an art teacher and school librarian before moving to Victoria, British Columbia, where she lives by the Salish Sea with her husband and two pugs. In the rare moment Whitney isn’t writing or drawing, she’s likely to be reading comics, knitting, or roasting coffee. Her books include the YA novels You’re Welcome, Universe; Chaotic Good; and the middle grade graphic novel Fake Blood. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.
About the Author
Whitney Gardner is an author, illustrator, and cartoonist living by the Salish Sea with her husband and two pugs. She started drawing stick figures in second grade and somehow no one's been able to stop her. If there’s ever a moment when she isn’t drawing she’s likely to be found baking, tending to her many houseplants, or rolling twenty-sided dice. Her favorite color is, and always will be, yellow. She is the author of the YA novels You’re Welcome, Universe and Chaotic Good, as well as the creator of Fake Blood and Long Distance and the illustrator for Debbie Levy’s Becoming RBG. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

I write books — nonfiction, fiction, and poetry — for people of all different ages, and especially for young people. Before starting my writing career, I was a newspaper editor; before that, I was a lawyer with a Washington, D.C. law firm. I have a bachelor’s degree in government and foreign affairs from the University of Virginia, and a law degree and master’s degree in world politics from the University of Michigan. I live in Maryland with my husband. We have two grown sons. Besides writing, I love to kayak, boat, fish, and otherwise mess around in the Chesapeake Bay region.

Integrated into the layout and design of the book are scaffolds for middle grade/middle school readers who may be less familiar with the judicial system in the United States or with critical moments in particular periods of time. For example, key terms like “federal government” are occasionally defined in sidebars. Gardner integrates other helpful items into the illustrations like newspaper headlines, protestor signs or signs posted in shops, quotes from historical figures, illustrations of court briefs, etc. to support understanding of what was going on (e.g., McCarthyism, Jim Crow, Equal Rights Amendment).
While Levy and Gardner tackle harder topics like RBG using the courts to gain equal treatment for women, they also include plenty of material that may be easier (or more familiar) for their audience to understand—the loving relationship between RBG and her husband, Marty, RBG’s relationship with her own mother and with her own children, the desire to do well in school and so forth. There’s a really nice balance of harder and more familiar topics, making this book even more accessible for our students.
The Levy and Gardner team clearly have their audience in mind! THANK YOU! WELL DONE. Highly recommend for 4th through 8th grade.
BOOK TALK thoughts - In 4th through 6th grade, you might start by reading aloud Levy and Baddeley’s picture book about RBG entitled I Dissent! Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark as a way to introduce this book and book talk it before leaving in the class library to be snatched up. In 6th and 7th, you might show the trailer for the documentary RBG to get students interested in this bio – the first 15 seconds of the trailer reveal her super powers ;).
