Artist Henny Beaumont and Afua Hirsh have worked alongside the Legal Action Group to create Equal to Everything: Judge Brenda and the Supreme Court; an illustrated book for children.

The book, illustrated by Henny and written in verse by Afua, introduces children to the legal system, justice and equality. A selection of original artwork by Henny created for the book can be viewed at The Supreme Court until June 2020.
