NOTES

"All rise for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black female United States Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson knew from the very beginning that "You can do anything. You can be anything." Driven by those powerful words and her parents' love, Ketanji refused to let naysayers stop her from rising to the top. Her perseverance and her wits led her to become the first Black woman to become a US district judge and eventually the first Black female US Supreme Court justice. Ketanji's remarkable journey proves how she is a justice for all. With Denise Lewis Patrick's empowering prose and Kim Holt's vibrant illustrations, this picture book delves into the life of a trailblazing contemporary figure, whose work shows that with determination and support, we can do and be anything"--
