I Dissent was written by Debbie Levy. This book shares the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and how she was able to stand up for what she believed in and later became the most beloved Supreme Court Justice.

This is a wonderful children‘s book about RBG. My student who read & responded to it really enjoyed learning about her. The illustrations are charming. It is also read aloud by the author on utube. Very accessible.

She disagreed by never forgetting how it felt to read such words. She never forgot the sting of prejudice.

A great book about women empowerment and standing up in the face of prejudice. Encouraging people standing up for themselves in ways that will help provoke change. A great book, must-have for my classroom library.

I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Made Her Mark by Debbie Levy (nonfiction, published 2016) tells the story of one of the only women to serve as a supreme court justice. Ruth grew up facing many challenges from being a woman to being Jewish and not wanting to fit into her stereotypical role. This book explains what was stacked against her but then it shows how she would dissent and not let these things hold her back. It is very empowering.

I really enjoyed this book. I learned a lot about Ginsburg. I would read this to my class to insure them to always follow their dreams no matter what society thinks. It is really cool that she is one of two EVER female Supreme Court Justices.

This is a nonfiction book about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She is an American lawyer and a Justice of the Supreme Court. She is only the second female to be on the court. This book tells the justice‘s story through the lens of her many famous dissents, or disagreements. The author's note lets us know that she did a lot of research on Ginsburg and has supported facts.

“I Dissent” was written by Debbie Levy in 2016. This biography was written about Ruth Ginsburg and discusses her life and how she got to where she is today! I really enjoyed this and believe my students will too!

Published in 2016, this children's biography is great to carry in the classroom! This book discusses inequality and discrimination that RGB has faced over her lifetime. RGB was able to and still does defy all that people tell her that she is incapable of doing.

Concise illustrated “life of” The Honourable Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Lovely edition but not too junior and remains politically neutral. Appropriate for kids reading on their own and adults who enjoy a good illustrated edition. Modern chalk lettering can be a little difficult but overall a very good tribute. The additional info in the back and further suggested reading are also extremely valuable. Definitely a pick & highly recommended!!

Another great children's book about a strong, motivated woman. This book also teaches kids that strict gender roles and stereotypes not only hurt women, but they can be harmful for men as well. I think this book will inspire kids to want to help others and to be themselves, no matter what gender they are.

Squeaking in a bit of reading before work with this charming elementary-level biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Debbie Levy. The theme of dissenting and resisting against limitations thrown in one's path is appealing to all ages and even includes little flashes of humor. Hand this one to a kiddo looking to write a report about an influential woman (or do like me and pick it up for yourself!). Loved it. #feminist #biography #juvenile

Bold and brazen, determined and decided. This book is superb. Everything in it is strong and effective, from the art, to the text, to the events chosen to capture RBG's life. I read this with my 8-year old, and she loved it as much as I did. It made her ask questions about why things had been the way they were, and what things still need to be changed. I want this one in my personal collection. Maybe I'll share with my kids. :)

A truly delightful children's book about the life of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Levy's prose is spot on; she tells RBG's story in a manner both accessible & empowering. Illustrator Elizabeth Baddeley really captures RBG & her family; her work really aids in the story telling with small details. #imasuckerforgoodillustrations • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 • #rolemodels #childrensbooks #notoriousRBG #yesivereadthatonetooandlovedit #ishouldwriteareviewforthat
