Ruth Handler Had Chutzpah (The Story of the Creator of Barbie)

This colorfully illustrated picture book biography introduces young readers to the inspiring story of Ruth Handler. From a young age, Ruth had big dreams. Unfortunately, those dreams were often met with doubt because she was a woman, a Jew, and the daughter of immigrants, trying to revolutionize the American toy industry. But Ruth never took no for an answer, and thanks to that chutzpah, she grew into the visionary co-founder of Mattel and creator of the world’s most fashionable and beloved doll—Barbie!
