Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life is such a perfect fit for the Little People, Big Dreams series that it is actually surprising that it is not part of the series already. A great inspiring story with the brilliant illustrations we have come to expect from the series.

Ahhh - this series can literally do no wrong. I have read a lot of books from this series this year and they are all superb!!

This book is extra special. I feel it has a bit more detail than some of the other books in the series. I really liked getting to know more about this amazing woman.
Great human, and a great book that completely compliments her!

This was our second LPBD arc and another winner!
We love these books and their ability to teach children about important people in our history using beautiful illustrations and lovely story telling. @mariaisabelsanchezvegara has brought us another informative book, even teaching me a few things as although I knew of Ruth BG I didn't know much about her! Now I do, and it sound it sounds like, in my 7 year olds words, she was a really inspirational person!

This is another brilliant addition to this series – even as an adult I look out for the next book in the series being released!

I love the images in this series and this is a brilliant introduction to Ruth Bader Ginsburg who was so influential and someone I would love my four year old daughter to look up too. She really was an inspiration.

This series is an excellent introduction to some of the well-known, and less well-known characters that have had a great impact in our lives through a variety of subjects such as politics and social influences in this case justice and a lady who became one of the most iconic figures in US politics - she stood up for what she believed in, fought for racial and gender equality, and defended democratic values - I love the variety of people chosen in this series and Ruth more than deserves her story being shared.

It is 5 stars from me for this one – a delightful read and one I will be very highly recommending!

This is another interesting book from the Little People, Big Dreams series. In this book, I was intrigued to learn about the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was a lawyer and politician in America who fought gender discrimination and racism in the supreme court. I enjoyed reading her story.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Net Galley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book about Ruth Bader Ginsburg which is part of the Little People Big Dreams series has beautiful illustrations and is about a female figurehead extremely relevant up until her recent passing. The colours are engaging and the text is short but informative, ideal for young minds wanting to learn whilst also being inspiring. It is diverse and engaging - I would look to buy for little ones in my life. I even learned things I didn't know and it makes you want to go away and learn more, it is extremely engaging.

Disclosure : Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read in exchange for an honest review.

It often saddens me that I fail to grasp the significance of a person’s life until they have died. Ruth Ginsburg was someone I knew of in the Supreme Court of America but perhaps due to living and growing up in the U.K. I have no measure of her influence in wider terms.
This is one good reason one’s reading should be balance by historical works and biographical contributions.

For the reason this series is a champion as it brings to young readers important and often less familiar people.

With a clear narrative capturing the quality and drivers in someone’s life brilliantly re-enforced with marvellous illustrations. I just adore the artwork as a dominant colour palate is chosen which works throughout the drawings.

Ruth had so many opportunities for giving up on her dreams. She lost her Mother, her motivating force at a critical time of her life. A Mum who had been obedient to her own parent’s wishes to favour the son, requiring her to forego her own ambitions and earn a living to support her brother. So when her Mother died she re-doubled her efforts to succeed for both of them in what was still a “male dominated” profession.

Enthused by a love of the constitution and a passion for equality and a society free from discrimination.

I am always delighted to share these books from this series to encourage and inspire my grandchildren. I will continue to look out for new titles. Parents and guardians coming to these books will find a more in depth potted biography at the end of the story. Together with your little ones you can show the photos, these are real people and explore more about their lives and importance to the values we hold dear.

I was really excited for 'Little People, Big Dreams' take on Ruth Bader Ginsburg and it didn't disappoint. This woman is such an inspiration. She gained power through hard work and a big focus on education, then used this power to do good. I especially loved the page about Antonin Scalia and Ruth's friendship, despite their differences and disagreements.

I love the diversity of the people featured in this series. Artists, athletes, authors, activists, explorers, entertainers, musicians, scientists and now a Supreme Court Justice.

These biographies are age appropriate; inspiring and interesting, but not overwhelming. They have bright, beautiful illustrations, striking covers, and look great on a shelf together.

Thank you NetGalley and Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely adore the Little People, Big Dreams series and this book, focusing on Ruth Bader Ginsburg, did not disappoint. Filled with glorious illustrations, these texts are a fabulous springboard for classroom discussion. I love how they cover such a broad range of famous faces, from scientists to musicians.

The story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an inspiring read of a girl who worked hard to achieve success and who worked equally hard to give back to those in need. It details the sorrows and hardships she faced in her youth and outlines her determination to make the world a fairer place for all, regardless of gender or ethnicity. Ruth is an incredibly inspirational figure, who worked hard to transform the lives of others through fighting for fair and equal laws for all.

I will be using this book as part of my Person of the Week work in a Year 5 classroom and think it would be a welcome addition to any school bookshelf. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

My kids ADORE the Little People, Big Dreams books and we get so excited when there are new titles! I have to admit I love them too as there are fun facts for all of us to absorb! My youngest is a budding early reader and loves how accessible these books are. Neither of them had heard of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but they are fierce believers in girls being just as capable of boys. As soon as they heard about Ruth's challenge for equality, they were fully alert! What a champion for young females; a powerful message for independence and equal rights. Exactly the role model to grow self confident young girls. This read definitely brought out the girl power in our household.

Yet another great book from a fantastic series of books!
Again, about someone who I am very much surprised I had never heard of but who actually played such a huge part in equal rights for women.
All explained in very easy to understand pages - great read, I love these books.

Disgraceful I know but I only actually heard of Ruth Bader Ginsburg after her death. I saw many of my American friends grieving for her and posting quotes about her and was intrigued. I quickly started to read up on this amazing lady! I love how these books make her story understandable to a new generation without being preachy or over complicating things. There's a couple of quotes in this book which really stuck with with me
"feminism isn't just about girls" YES!!! So few people understand this!!
"by making fair and equal laws for everyone, we can transform people's lives" - Ruth didn't just fight for the rights of women but POC, she believed in equality for EVERYONE.

WoW! Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara books must be one of the best little books to purchase for children, these are the best-selling series of books and educational games that explore the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.

So, this latest book is about Ruth Bader Ginsburg mum taught Ruth to be a lady - which meant to be her own independent self. Ruth promised herself she would do everything her mother didn't get the chance to do. And she excelled: at university, as a law professor, and later on the supreme court fighting gender discrimination

It's one book, you should definitely buy for your little readers so they can learn about this law professor.

I am so glad these books are being published and I highly recommend all of these books
