Feeling different, especially as a kid, can be tough. But in the same
way that different types of plants and flowers make a garden more
beautiful and enjoyable, different types of people make our world more
vibrant and wonderful.
In Just Ask, United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor
celebrates the different abilities kids (and people of all ages) have.
Using her own experience as a child who was diagnosed with diabetes,
Justice Sotomayor writes about children with all sorts of
challenges--and looks at the special powers those kids have as well. As
the kids work together to build a community garden, asking questions of
each other along the way, this book encourages readers to do the same:
When we come across someone who is different from us but we're not sure
why, all we have to do is Just Ask.
