This week I featured the book “Just Ask”, written by Sonia Sotomayor, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, in lessons in some of the classes that I teach. This book is amazing! It is written in a matter of fact, age appropriate way for children to learn a little bit about some of the differences that some people have, such as diabetes, asthma, autism, down syndrome, dyslexia, ADHD, nut allergies, blindness, and deafness. Sotomayor compares the differences that people have being just like the different flowers in a garden. Rather than making assumptions or avoiding people with differences, the author encourages children to just ask their questions in a polite and friendly way. What a great book to help our children be more accepting and understanding of each other! I love the tagline at the bottom of the book too- “Be different, be brave, be you”!
