Picture Book Wednesday: Little Golden Biographies

Just a few Little Golden biographies

These might be small books, but I always learn something from them

To be honest, I didn't know much about Dick Van Dyke's life - but now I want to read more about it.

I love his singing and dancing. You can tell he's having fun.

She's such an amazing athlete. I love how she enjoyed other sports before committing to swimming.

I wish this had gone a little deeper into her feminism and struggles, but it's a great starting off point. 

I knew some about this woman's life, but I didn't know that she was the first Black female conductor when she was still a teenager. 

Willie Mays's skills are seriously impressive, even from a young age. He went pro directly after gradating high school. I loved the story about how Mays was playing with kids and forgot to show up to a game.

Movie Review: On the Basis of Sex

The story of how Ruth Bader Ginsburg won her first case - a case that changed everything. 

Here's why I Enjoyed it:

* The Casting 

* Legal Drama

* That Interview 

* Power of Women

* Her teaching moments

* Jane Ginsburg

* Ruth Bader Ginsburg's determination 

* The Cameo by Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself

* Her moment with the former Dean of Harvard and putting him in his place (Twice)

**Of course it made me want to go read a biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg to learn more.
