Title: All Rise: The Story of Ketanji Brown Jackson Author: Carole Boston Weatherford Illustrator: Ashley Evans Publisher: Crown Books for Young Readers Publication: February 28, 2023 Narrator: Shannon Griffin @LiterallyCultured Whatever she did, wherever she was, Ketanji Brown Jackson rose to the top. From the time their daughter was born, Ketanji Brown’s parents taught her that if she worked hard and believed in herself, she could do anything. As a child, Ketanji focused on her studies and excelled, eventually graduating from Harvard Law School. Years later, in 2016, when she was a federal judge, a seat opened on the United States Supreme Court. In a letter to then-President Barack Obama, Leila Jackson made a case for her mother—Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Although the timing didn’t work out then, it did in 2022, when President Joe Biden nominated her. At her confirmation, Ketanji Brown Jackson became the first Black female Supreme Court justice in the United States. Lyrical text by renowned author Carole Boston Weatherford and evocative illustrations by Ashley Evans combine to make this an inspirational and timely read. #booksforkids #picturebooks #blackhistory #diversebooks #readaloud #readalong #storytime #representationmatters #blackexcellence #elementary #womenshistorymonth #blackhistorymonth LEGAL All copyrighted material is owned solely by the copyright holder.
