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. <p/>In <i>Just Ask</i>, 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 <i>Just Ask</i>. <p/><b>Praise for<i> Just Ask</i> </b> <p/><b>*</b> Addressing topics too often ignored, this picture book presents information in a direct and wonderfully child-friendly way. --<b><i>Booklist</i>, *STARRED REVIEW*</b> <p/>An affirmative, delightfully diverse overview of disabilities. --<i><b>Kirkus Reviews</b></i> <p/>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. . . .
