A Supreme Friendship

Two celebrated former Supreme Court justices take the spotlight in this insightful children’s story about not letting strong differences get in the way of a good friendship.

Ruth and Nino were best friends—who just happened to work together as judges on the United States Supreme Court, the highest court in the country. And while they both wanted what was best for all Americans, they also disagreed . . . a lot. But Ruth and Nino loved being challenged by each other, helping each other, and—at the end of the day—putting their differences aside to enjoy their friendship. They knew: "Disagree doesn't mean disrespect and differences don't mean enemies."

A Supreme Friendship is a timely story about two Americans who found the similarities they shared mattered far more than their differences.
