Publication Day! 2 X RBG
Today is publication day for my graphic novel-style biography, Becoming RBG: Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Journey to Justice. Yes, my second book about RBG!
Becoming RBG tells the story of how Ruth Bader Ginsburg evolved to become the pathbreaker that she is. Step by step, a quiet little girl--"Kiki" Bader--became a child who questioned unfairness, who became a student who persisted despite obstacles, who became an advocate who resisted injustice, who became a jurist who reveres the rule of law, who became . . . RBG.
I'm so excited to share this remarkable woman's story with more readers. Maybe some of them will be graduates of my picture book, I Dissent. Maybe some will be new to RBG, drawn to her story by Whitney Gardner's crisp and snazzy art. Maybe some will never have heard of a "graphic novel" (these would be adult readers; the kids all know)--and will be surprised to encounter a 208-page *comic book*!I'd love to flip through all those pages with you now, but my talent as a videographer is limited. So, instead, I hope you'll enjoy these excerpted pages. And please check my "Happenings" page to see where I'll be going with Becoming RBG in the coming months. I do love talking about my RBG books!
