The location will be Senn High School Auditorium, 5900 N. Glenwood Ave., Chicago. Doors open at 5 p.m. Program begins at 6 p.m.
ABOUT "JUST ASK! Be Different, Be Brave, Be You"
Sonia Sotomayor and award-winning artist Rafael LÃ"pez create a kind and caring book about the differences that make each of us unique.
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", 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, she 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.
