She was diagnosed with diabetes as a child and this inspired her to write a book that includes a group of children planting a garden. All the children in the book are differently abled. While they are all different, they plant a beautiful, varied garden together. The key message of the book is when you see something you don\u2019t understand, just ask. We can all ask questions and learn about one another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Review:<\/strong><br \/>\nThis book kindly and gently explains differences that we regularly see in classrooms and I love the encouragement to be curious about what is happening as a means to discuss and understand other people.<\/p>\n<p>The book includes a page on diabetes, asthma, wheelchair use, blindness, deafness, dyslexia, autism\u00a0 &#8211; and the fact that autism can look very different in different people, stuttering, Tourette\u2019s syndrome, ADHD, and even nut allergies.<\/p>\n<p>Each of the topics is discussed using a character and some information on how they are impacted. There is a question at the end of each short section which can spark discussion, for example on the diabetes page Sonia asks \u201cDo you ever need to take medicine to be healthy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the obvious use of this book to explain why someone in a classroom cannot eat nuts, uses medication or does certain things, I find this book a useful tool for discussing differing abilities. It is possible that young children have not been exposed to differing abilities. Talking about how abilities might affect say, our ability to walk or talk but will not affect our ability to think, understand or be friendly is an important lesson for children. I adore how this book explains this concept.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Target audience:<\/strong><br \/>\nParents of young children with any of the topics covered in the book will find the book a useful means to direct conversation around their child\u2019s differences when joining a new class of school.<\/p>\n<p>I think this is an excellent book for preschool and early junior school libraries and classrooms. It serves as an introduction to differing abilities. When we think of diversity, race and skin colour almost always come to mind first but ability is a crucial component and this book is excellent at prompting empathetic thinking around ability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about this impressive judge on her Wikipedia page <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sonia_Sotomayor\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Reviewed by Nathalie Mat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=B5wRm2MrFvQ[\/embed]\n","protected":false},"featured_media":586,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_joinchat":[]},"product_cat":[86,85],"product_tag":[],"booksforadults":[],"booksforchildren":[],"booksforteens":[],"booksfortweens":[],"newin":[],"booksfordietitians":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Just Ask - Sonia Sotomayor - Informed Appetite<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Informed Appetite Just Ask - Sonia Sotomayor A beautiful picture book encouraging curiosity instead of judgement.
