A beautiful biography of an amazing person, perfect for kids. This book not only showed just how determined Ruth was, but that she also could still be friends with someone she frequently disagreed with.

I loved I DISSENT! It was very well written and easy for young readers to understand. It beautifully illustrates the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her journey to becoming the first Jewish Woman to be a Supreme Court Justice. I DISSENT not only showed how nothing stopped Ruth from success but that along the way she learned that we don't always get what we want, and "...that sometimes life was like that" (Levy 11). Overall, it is a beautiful biography that many can learn from.

I realized that I didn't know much about Ginsburg except that she was awesome and was one of the good Supreme Court judges. This is a great starting point for children and for adults.

In this book, we learn all about Ruth’s life and how she disagreed, dissented, objected, and protested from a very young age. She had to though because she grew up in a time when girls didn’t get to do a lot of things - they didn’t get to use tools, they didn’t always go to college, and they definitely didn’t become lawyers or judges. Ruth thought this was all very unfair. In college, Ruth made a plan for how she was going to fight against unfair ideas and laws - by becoming a lawyer and eventually, a judge.
This book is a great way to introduce students to a real-life hero who has had to break through boundaries pretty much all of her life. I love the bold design and the text effortlessly introduces vocabulary like dissent, object, and protest. The book gently delivers the message that you can disagree with someone without being disagreeable and I appreciate the specific example of Justice Bader Ginsburg and Justice Scalia being very close friends despite their very different beliefs - a needed and timely message. I'll definitely be purchasing this for my own classroom.
