## Description

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and award-winning artist Rafael Lopez create a kind and caring book about the differences that make each of us unique. A #1 New York Times bestseller! Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award! 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 . Praise for Just Ask : * "Addressing topics too often ignored, this picture book presents information in a direct and wonderfully child-friendly way." -- Booklist , *STARRED REVIEW* "An affirmative, delightfully diverse overview of disabilities." -- Kirkus Reviews "A hopeful and sunny exploration of the many things that make us unique [with] dynamic and vibrant illustrations [that] emphasize each character’s unique abilities. . . . A thoughtful and empathetic story of inclusion." -- SLJ

Review: A Great New Book For Your Classroom Colection - I love this book! The pictures and illustrations are on point. This is a great book to read in a classroom because it helps raise some uncomfortable questions a person may have. These books help normalize different disabilities and help the reader understand that we are all different and that it is ok to ask. I have read this book to my children and to my students. We have great decisions afterwards.
Review: Why do some kids do things differently? - This book explains some of the differences in kids and the pictures reflect the author and illustrator's desire to show how every challenge can be looked at in a positive light, if we wish. Author Sotomayor describes how trees and flowers grow differently and so do people. She narrates how how she grew up testing the sugar in her blood and illustrator Lopez shows a young girl giving herself shots of insulin. Sotomayor explains why, in age-appropriate language, kids might want to repeat themselves carefully (stuttering), or use an inhaler (asthma). She describes other issues many kids deal with, including being in a wheelchair, being blind or deaf, autism, stuttering, Tourette's syndrome, ADHD, allergies, and Down syndrome. She devotes a paragraph to each; not going into a lot of detail but just enough to cover the basics and put them into perspective. In many schools, I've seen some of these challenges are called "learning differences"; in others they might be called learning disabilities. They are all challenges. Of course, kids have to be taught about the differences their peers have, hence the book's title, "Just Ask". On an adult level, in most schools the issues are accepted and accommodated. Kids needing insulin shots visit the nurse's office for their injections (and other kids may wonder why). Kids on the autism spectrum might learn organization and executive function skills, or, depending on the severity, might not be expected to speak in class. Kids using sign language might attend a special school. When I first started to read the book, I wasn't sure so many facts should be included in a single paragraph for each challenge, but this is a book that's meant to be read by an adult to the kids, explained, and discussed. Yes, it's a lot to take in, but it will start important discussions and put differences into perspective. In a sense, it levels the playing field. We are all different, some of us have more visible challenges than others, and it's okay to ask why.
