I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsberg Makes Her Mark by Debbie Levy

This new picture book biography of Ruth Bader Ginsberg is astoundingly captivating! This is an excellent book for teaching the authors purpose. There are several words that are formatted differently on almost all the pages. This can lend itself  to modeling and discussing author's purpose example of author's purpose. The book is eloquently written with exceptional word choice and descriptive language.  The illustrator does an amazing job of drawing Ruth Bader Ginsberg. You will find actual photos and a more in depth factual biography in the back. There are many important life lessons to be learned from reading this book. Students learn the importance of education, determination, bravery, staying true to yourself, and lastly respecting yourself and others. I would highly recommend this for all students!! It will be of particular interest to students that enjoy a strong female role models, historical books and biographies. I can not recommend this book highly enough! It is an Orbis Pictus Award Honor Book for outstanding nonfiction for children. The author website attached has a helpful curriculum guide attached as well.
