Resourceful, fair and curious, Jodhi, 12, has always been diplomatic, which helps her rule in her mock backyard court. When her soup ladle hits the striking block, the court knows the final decision has been arrived at by a tiny, thoughtful judge. She is a well-read and trusted friend in the neighborhood who listens to the facts before making a ruling. She’s always willing to hear both sides and brings a measured, balanced, and comical flair to each of her decisions.
