Description
Before Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there was Louis D. Brandeis: a lawyer/activist turned Supreme Court Justice who drew on common sense and Jewish values to make a difference.

This nonfiction picture book for young readers ages 7 - 10 brings to life a man full of wit and common sense, a trailblazer to inspire Jewish and non-Jewish readers alike.

Louis Brandeis knows it's up to him to change the world. He has seen how some people are treated poorly because of their race or their religion or because they are poor. If I were a lawyer like Uncle Dembitz, he thinks, I could fight for those who need extra help. Guided by his uncle's example, his father's practical wisdom, and Jewish values of equality and justice, Brandeis gets to work as a lawyer, making sure everyone has a chance. Louis knows it's important to fight for worker's rights and women's rights. Louis knows (before most people!) that everyone has the right to privacy. And Louis knows it's important to support arguments with facts.

What Louis doesn't know is that he'll become the first Jewish Supreme Court Justice in 1916, and his fight for justice will only continue.
