Becoming RBG

Reach for this book when your child expresses frustration with unfair rules or feels like their quiet nature is a weakness in a loud world. Becoming RBG is a thoughtful graphic biography that traces Ruth Bader Ginsburg's journey from a reserved girl in Brooklyn to a transformative Supreme Court Justice. It goes beyond the bench to show how she used logic, meticulous preparation, and steady determination to dismantle systemic discrimination. Parents will appreciate how it models a healthy partnership through Ruth's marriage to Marty and how it handles her personal losses with grace. It is an excellent tool for teaching that advocacy does not always require shouting: it requires persistence and a sharp mind. Best for middle schoolers ready to discuss civil rights and legal history.
