From two Coretta Scott King Honor winners comes this uplifting picture
book biography about Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is making history as the
first Black woman to serve as a Supreme Court Justice.
Ketanji Brown Jackson is no stranger to overcoming obstacles. When a
high school guidance counselor told her she should set her sights lower
than Harvard, she decided to go to Harvard for college and law school.
When she became a public defender and saw inequalities in the justice
system, she used her legal skills to advocate for people who needed
help, but couldn't afford an attorney.
Ketanji's path to the Supreme Court was unique: She's the only current
Justice to have been a public defender and one of a few who went to
public school. Her story is powerful and heartening, and it's a lesson
in overcoming adversity by being true to yourself.
