Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a powerful role model. She was not afraid to stand up for what she believed in, even if not everybody agreed with her.

She did not win every 'fight', but that she never gave up, she believed that everyone should have the same opportunities regardless of race or gender.

These are qualities and values we can strive for.

The Little People, Big Dreams books give a brief and succinct account of a person's life, depending on the age of the reader/audience, they can be a great starting point for more in-depth discussion or research on topics. In this book for example, with older readers, it would be interesting to find out more about Sweden and their steps towards equality, and maybe think about what 'equality' looks like where you are from.

Even the simple line in the book 'feminism isn't just about girls'...is a great starting point for discussion.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the opportunity to review this title.

A great addition to this wonderful series! I loved learning about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's childhood and what inspired her journey into law and beliefs. A very inspiring book about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was born in 1933 in NYC. Life was much different for a young, Jewish girl at that time. Still, her mother was brave and intelligent and teaches Ruth that she should be her independent self. Education is stressed as the key to having choices in life. Sadly, Ruth’s Mom dies when she is in High School. This only makes Ruth want to please her mother more. Ruth gets a scholarship to Cornell University and from then on pursues her goal to become a lawyer. She meets the love of her life, Martin. Both are finishing law school and he helps her raise their family. This makes it possible for both to have careers in the law. However, it is much harder for Ruth because she is a woman, and most jobs she is offered are to be a secretary.

This type of treatment, makes Ruth especially want to fight for Equal Rights for everyone. She uses the 14th Amendment of the Constitution to say it’s unconstitutional to treat people different based on gender. Ruth is very effective at taking cases that fight for this right, both for men and women. She is known to be a fierce advocate of equality and applying fairness in cases. In 1993, Ruth joins the Supreme Court, and she is only the second woman ever to hold this incredibly important job. Ruth does fight for what she thinks is right, but also gets along with the other Justices. She is good friends with Anthony Scalia, even though he doesn’t always vote the same on legal cases. She has a way of making people see her point.

So, over time Ruth Bader Ginsburg became a hero to a whole new generation of people. She believes that each person deserves an equal chance in life. If that does not happen, then the court should step in and stop discrimination. RBG becomes a symbol of a person who works hard to accomplish equal rights for all. She certainly changed the lives of many in her lifetime.

This is a great book for children to read. It shows that if they dream of being lawyers, judges, or working for equal rights, that can happen. Many of the cases Ruth voted on, changed their young lives. Now they have the chance to help the next generation. These are very important lessons for kids to learn.

The illustrations I thought were exceptional. They made the book even more vibrant and were done by Judit Orosz.

Thank you NetGalley, Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, and Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for providing an ARC of this wonderful book, part of the Little People, Big Dreams Series.

A perfect tribute to a smart, legendary woman. This book highlights her commitment to justice and equality, along with the challenges she faced as a woman, a mother, and a lawyer, studying and working in a man's world. Beautiful illustrations!

Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is another admirable addition to the wonderful Little People, BIG DREAMS series which has charmed me enough to be considered required reading. Here, children are inspired by some of the most influential people in history, in this case Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg. The autobiographical text is pared down and presented in a simplified manner so as to be absorbed and enjoyed by all ages. You will want to add this latest gem to your collection.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books for an ARC.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the newest to be spotlighted in this latest edition of the Little People, BIG DREAMS series by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. This series is such a delight and the perfect way to educate not just kids but everyone about historic and cultural icons.

Ginsburg was an American lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in September 2020.. This book portrays Ginsburg as she spends her law career advocating for gender equality to her being appointed for the Supreme Court and was apart of many important cases such as the Voting Rights Act.

Judit Orosz illustrates this installment and does an amazing job. Orosz's art style was so captivating and her art definitely further helped tell Gindburg's story. This installment did a great job of educating me about a historical figure who I adore. I love collecting these books and am so thrilled to add this one to the rest of my collection.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

This book is part of a series of books for children focusing on famous people. It shares moments from RBG's life: the passing away of her mother, getting an education, having a family, law school and going to court. Many of these areas can lead to discussions. This shows RBP taking on cases fighting for equality in education and rights to vote. The illustrations are colorful and will appeal to children. I think students in my elementary school will enjoy reading Ruth Bader Ginsburg or having it read to them. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group-Frances Lincoln Children's Books for a temporary ARC in exchange for an honest review.

What a sweet little book. As a fan of Ruth Bader Ginsburg I love to collect all of the things about her and I am excited to add this one when it publishes. A sweet kids book that could inspire many to aim high and think outside the box that society has made.

I am going to buy a few of these to give to many of the kids in my life.

This delightful book about a true role model, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is beautifully written and easy to understand for young readers. Children will be inspired by the story of a powerful woman who always fought for what she believed in and was never deterred by those who opposed her beliefs. Boys and girls will learn to stand up for themselves and their ideals and to never give up, no matter how difficult things may seem.

I am looking forward to sharing this with my elementary school students this year as a part of our nonfiction unit. I will also be looking for more books in this series to add to my classroom library.

The little people big dreams series are a wonderful way to introduce important real life characters to children and adults. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is someone who should be widely recognised as an inspiration to all who strive for equality. This beautifully illustrated book tells her story in a simple and clear way. It is a great addition to the already great series and has made me want to learn more about Ruth and her life.

The illustrations on these were classic, and fit Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s aesthetic perfectly. Her inspiring story was told in easily digestible increments that were simple enough for a child to understand.

This cover is beautiful! If you haven’t seen the movie On The Basis of Sex about RBG, go watch it, it’s fantastic. As an educator I found the wording in this story a bit too sophisticated, although it is short and sweet and gets the point across. I don’t know if younger children would really understand everything, but I do recommend!

I love RBG, love this book series, and will be adding this one to my son’s collection. I appreciate how this series highlights more than who’ll you’ll find in the “traditional” (cough white washed, male centric) history books.

I can't wait to get this for my classroom! The story of RBGs life is told simply for the earliest readers, but it made her very human and relatable and really showed kids what drove her and what made her important. The illustrations were very colorful and engaging too. This will be a great introduction to an inspiring figure for young ones.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

RBG was someone very much unknown to me until a few untold years ago – I probably thought the clunky initials she seemed to be fondly known as had more to do with ink colours and printing than with a Supreme Court judge and social campaigner. So although she's since passed away, I dare say this is a better lesson about the woman's life than I'd ever had before. Here is the lesson she got in Sweden, her own family and how it was awkward to bring it up while working, and the opera evenings spent alongside her greatest rivals on the bench. The artwork is for once something I can approve of, as this series really does succeed in getting it wrong more times than right, but I do think – not for the first time recently – that the books need to have a check for level of vocab, as these legal terms are not universally in the minds of the young target audience members without adult help.

From the critically acclaimed Best Selling Little People, Big Dreams series comes this delightful book about the incredible life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg! The amazing life of RBG is told in simple language, condensed form, and with absolutely adorable pictures! A wonderful way to teach your grade school child or child or students in the classroom about the legendary RBG. I even learned a few new things! Kudos to this book & this series for a job well done & books that are a joy to read!

What a wonderful children's book about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was such an amazing woman, and I love reading about her life, no matter the intended age group.

The Little People Big Dreams books are so great for young children. They teach them about inspirational people, on a level they can understand. And the illustrations are fabulous!

Also not so fun fact: This is the first book I've read on RBG that has mentioned her death last year. It's been almost a year, and my heart still breaks. She was an incredible woman.

I loved this one. I liked the story and illustrations of Ruth's life. A great addition to this collection of books.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!

The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The ‘My First Little People, Big Dreams’ series provides informative and inspirational biographies about people who left a mark on this earth, no matter what difficulties they have encountered.
These stories are very short, but that’s because they’re books for children, so it’s totally understandable.
I think they are a very smart and wonderful way to introduce little children to such important figures.
This little book tells the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who spent all her life fighting for equal rights. She truly is a legend and this little book is a great opportunity for children, and adults, to learn about her.

Pros: I knew I wanted to read this book as soon as I saw the cover. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is one of my heroes. I have read many books for adults about RBG, but I was curious to see how she is portrayed in a children's book. I'm a big believer that well-done children's books are just as much for adults as they are from children. I think and hope adults who aren't already big RBG fans will learn a lot from this book. The illustrations in this book are fantastic. My favorite detail was that her school uniform and several other outfits mimic the jabot she wore with her judicial robe. My favorite gift to bring to baby showers and to give children as gifts are books, and I love that I'll be able to share this book with my favorite kids.

Cons: There are some big ideas and topics in this book that make this book much more advanced than a picture book. That's not a bad thing--it's just different from what I expected when I saw the cover of the book. I also didn't love the font of the copy/text. It doesn't fit with the illustrations, which are so well done.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the opportunity to read this book.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is one of the most inspiring people of the century. She took her brain and powerhoused her way all the way up to the supreme court. She had a loving and supportive husband who loved her for her brain and despite having children together, she didn't stop on her career goals. I loved this and it's an important one for young kids to read, especially now since she has since passed away.

Thank you to netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review!

This book is excellent! Finally, a book about RBG that showcases her accomplishments without giving so much of the credit to her husband. Describing her marriage to Martin as a “partnership” was perfect. I love the brief childhood history and the acknowledgment of the inspiration and drive Ruth got from her mother. I also appreciated the book demonstrated that gender equality isn’t just about women but rather it is about men and women being treated equally under the law. There is so much to love about this book!

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is such and important book for children to read, especially young girls. Even though society is changing as a whole with there outdated views on gender and race equality, in the pages of this children's book the author has captured RBG's beliefs and her persistent and tireless fight for equal rights overcoming many obstacles placed in her way solely because she was a woman.
Extremely well written and the illustrations are gorgeous.

I truly loved this entry in the long running series. Ruth’s story is told simply and well. Readers get a fine sense of what motivated Ruth and all that she accomplished, despite much overt sexism. They also learn that she was a broadminded fighter for everyone’s rights. Unlike some, readers learn that she could get along with those who disagreed with her. Watch for the short part in the story about her and Antonin Scalia.

Throughout the illustrations are quietly appealing. I loved the attention paid to Ruth’s glassses.

I highly recommend this title.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

I loved this short & sweet story about the life of an American icon. This told Ruth’s story in a way all young learners can understand and highlighted both her personal and professional life achievements. I love this collection of books and will be adding many to my classroom library!

An extraordinary person, and a lovely (albeit short) visual tribute. I would suggest this book as an introduction to RBG for young readers perhaps to pair with a longer reading. Nicely crafted.

I was REALLY impressed with this edition in the series of Little People, BIG DREAMS. I felt the author, Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, and the illustrator, Judit Orosz, both produced five-star work. Children will read about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the famous Supreme Court judge who passed away last year. Before Ruth was even a teenager, she lost both her mother and her little sister. Attempting to make good on a promise made to her mother, Ruth studied in school and achieved top grades and won scholarships. It’s good for children to see that despite disappointments, a goal and a plan saved Ruth. Regardless of capabilities, a goal and a plan give young people something to work towards.

When she struggled to find work because she was female, her attention focused on gender equality. This remained her goal, even on her way to becoming a judge in 1980. Ruth was 47 years old. Ruth didn’t allow getting married and having a family, to stand in the way of following her dreams. When most people are winding down towards retirement, Ruth was appointed to the Supreme Court when she was 60 years old. She continued in this role until her death last year.

Ruth is a much-loved icon around the world and an inspiration to any who want to raise a family and continue with their dreams. The secondary message in this book is that despite powerful disagreements in court, Ruth still remained good friends with her colleagues. Having a different opinion, yet respecting it and remaining friends, is a lesson we can all learn.

The illustrations are breath-taking! My niece kept smiling and exclaiming how wonderful they were. I noticed her spend quite a bit of time examining the illustrations prior to reading each page. At eight years old, this was a manageable book for her to read and understand. Vegara has made sure that her prose is inspiring and informative!

I will definitely pick up a copy of this book to gift to all the little girls with dreams in my sphere of influence!

Publishes September 21, 2021.

I was gifted this advance copy by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara, Quarto Publishing Group, and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

An excellent addition to the Little People Big Dreams series. I think some dates along the way would have been useful e.g. when she defended the voting Rights Act (although I think this series always deliberately avoids them?). As always, such a short book leaves me wanting more, so the suggested reading at the end is very welcome.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an amazing addition to the Little People Big Dreams series and is a very important person for children, especially girls, to learn about. This lady was truly amazing and definitely deserves her spot within this amazing series of biographies for children.
This series is such an inspiration to children about important and inspirational people living and dead. This series teaches children they can be everything they dream of and more.

This simply but well-written mini biography tells the story of a girl born at a time when it was much harder to do the things we take for granted today. She overcame gender and height prejudices to achieve her dream of making a difference in gender politics by becoming a particular kind of lawyer and rising to the Supreme Court of the US. Her *Can Do* attitude is a beacon to girls and women everywhere. The illustrations by Judit Orosz are eye-catching and very well done. The language of the text is suitable for reading to young people and excellent for ESL.
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an amazing addition to the Little People Big Dreams series and is a very important person for children, especially girls, to learn about. This story begins when se was born, Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 1933 in NYC. Life was different for a young, Jewish girl at that time, but her mother taught Ruth that she should be her independent self. Education is stressed as the key to having choices in life, and even though it was difficult, she became a lawyer, 1 of only 8 women in her class of 550. Ruth was not always treated fairly and was not offered jobs male lawyers would. Ruth spent her life fighting for equality for all people using the constitution to support her arguments. She was the second female Supreme Court Judge in 1993, continuing her fight for equality, right up to her death in 2020. All this is included in this book in a way that interested me as an adult and my grandson who is 7. Of course, he didn't understand why some of the things happened to her, which makes my heart happy. This lady was truly amazing and definitely deserves her spot within this amazing series of biographies for children.

Super cute story about RBG. As an elementary school counselor this is one I would put on my shelves to educate my students. I do wish it had a little more information on WHY RBG was so important and other cases she helped make a difference on.

This is a good short book about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's life. It's perfect for new readers.

This book talks about Ruth wanting to do all of the things her mother had dreamed of, but didn't get to do. Wow did she become a role model for young girls, but really everyone in her fight for equality.

The illustrations have an old time feel and really work well with the story.

The only change would be to have some more details and add a little more about her later in life.

Thank you to the publisher for providing a free digital copy of this ARC for an honest review.

"I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."
I think this was a great overview of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's life. It did a good job highlighting her career without making it overly political, and could be a good resource for anyone.

This is a great introduction to the life and work of RBG. It's empowering for little girls and educational for all kids. I would definitely buy this book for my daughter.

The only thing I wish that were different is that the formatting of the book is not the best in ebook format - some of the pictures get cut off on a page. It's best read as a paper book.

I enjoy this series and this one is another must add to the library. This is a great series I have added to the library and will be adding this one as soon as it come out. If you want to know more about this legend this is a a great book to start.

I think this is my favourite of these so far. RGB is such an icon for women everywhere and seeing it all laid out like this in the simplest of ways really shows that. Her mother really instilled in her the strength and determination to go far regardless if her gender and then she in turn passed this on to further generations. From fighting for women's rights to enter specific schools to supporting both parents as primary caregivers she really had the right idea.
Highly recommend adding this one to your children's libraries and teaching them more about this fantastic woman.

This inspiring junior biography is especially well-written. There is a clear narrative arc, which helps readers to feel a strong connection to the book's themes and subject, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Highly recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this little book about the wonderful life of RBG. The illustrations beautifully enhanced the story. The book was simple enough for young readers to understand and be inspired by. I highly recommend this book to anyone, young or old, whether they are familiar with Ruth Bader Ginsburg or not. I can’t wait to add this title to my collection. Thank you to @netgalley for the chance to read this book before its publication date.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a Former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Her story as told in the Little People, Big Dreams set is a lovely introduction to a woman who was a powerhouse and had big dreams which she made come true.
The book gives a brief insight into her childhood and her aspirations - the illustrations are really colourful and this book will appeal to all ages. It can be used in the classroom across all ages and is a great addition to the serie.

I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books through NetGalley.
Another biography in the Little People Big Dreams series by Sanchez Vegara.
Readers meet Ruth Bader Ginsburg as a child and move through her life story. They see her fighting for equality and working to break barriers. Told in language mid to upper elementary students can easily follow. The timeline included at the end of the book provides further information and brings readers to her death in 2020.

I had no idea that Ruth had been involved in law for so long and not only that but fought cases for those who would otherwise go unheard. I knew she was awesome but this book confirmed it,

Such an informative book on an important person. I thought I knew a lot about Ruth Bader Ginsburg and there was a ton I didn’t know.

Terrific book for little girls and boys alike. I read this with my son and he was very engaged in the book and we were able to talk about rights and the Supreme Court.

Thanks to NetGalley for my ARC
This is a really wonderful book. Ruther Bader Ginsburg is such an amazing an influential woman, and someone that I think all kids would benefit about learning more about. The book is written in a way that makes it engaging and appropriate for a kids level. The messages in the book are uplifting, and the story is fun and interesting. The illustrations are very good and work perfectly with the story.

I really love this series of books and have read many of them to my 3 year old. I think this book is a wonderful addition!

I enjoyed this as much as my 5 year old. RGB is a true hero that helped so many. This is such a wonderful series I would recommend to everyone and this is a very deserving and welcome addition.

I wanted to hear more - this would make a great inspirational series for child and families.
Many of us are aware of Ruth as an immortal hero of human, race, equality, women rights.
I enjoyed learning about her life growing up, meeting her husband, starting her own family.
I want to know more.
My daughter enjoyed the amazing illustrations- lots of color, great representation of the text.
Well done.

OMG, this book was so beautiful.

I know it is a children's book, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone that wants to learn more about this amazing woman and her life in one seating.
I didn't really know her history, so I´m really glad I picked it up.

I really want to thank the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for giving me this book in exchange for an honest review. <3
