As summer winds down and kids head back to school, we want to share our favorite books for the littlest legal assistants in our lives.
It was just a few years ago when we’d only have time to open legal textbooks. But life has evolved and now there is a gaggle of Breen Goril Law babies and kids, plus our many nieces and nephews. If you think we turn off the legal work when we get home, you are mistaken. One of our favorite ways to teach the kiddos in our lives about what we do, about being fair, and about fighting for justice is through children’s books.
Here are our favorites.
Attorney Dan Breen reads Alabama Spitfire: The Story of Harper Lee and To Kill a Mockingbird to his son and daughter. This book is a true story about Harper Lee, the girl who grew up to write the Pulitzer Prize winning To Kill a Mockingbird.
When he’s not reading Little Blue Truck (which is basically every night) to his two sons, attorney Chris Goril shares Lillian's Right to Vote: A Celebration of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As the names says, this book follows an elderly African American lady’s uphill journey to vote.
I Promise, by LeBron James is a favorite of attorney Maggie Ledford. An inspiring book about doing your best today for a brighter future tomorrow.
Legal Assistant Lesley shares The Youngest Marcher: The Story of Audrey Faye Hendricks, a Young Civil Rights Activist. An incredible true story about a brave little girl marching to protest segregation.
Marketing Assistant Andrea likes to read I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark with her three young daughters. This book tells how RBG always stood up for what was right – especially in the lives of women and minorities.
