Feeling different can be challenging, especially for kids. However, just as a variety of plants and flowers enhance a garden’s beauty, our diverse qualities enrich the world. In Just Ask, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor celebrates the unique abilities of children and people of all ages. Drawing from her own experience with diabetes, she highlights children facing various challenges and the special strengths they possess. As the kids collaborate to create a community garden, they learn to ask questions and connect with one another. This inspiring book encourages readers to embrace curiosity and understanding when we encounter someone different, all we need to do is Just Ask.
