The book “ASK, DON’T BE AFRAID!” by author Sonia Sotomayor has topped the New York Times bestseller list and won the prestigious Schneider Family Book Award in 2020.
Each child is a unique individual, carrying within him or her own distinct traits like brilliant flowers that adorn the garden of life. This diversity contributes to creating a colorful, varied and vibrant world.
However, the journey of growing up for “different” children is not easy, especially when they are young. They often face prejudice, alienation and ignorance from the world around them.
“ASK, DON’T BE AFRAID!” is a meaningful encouragement for young souls. The book gently reminds: Instead of being shy or judgmental when meeting people who are different, be bold in asking questions to understand, to cultivate a world of integration and love.
Inspired by her own childhood experience with juvenile diabetes, author Sonia Sotomayor wrote emotional stories about children with diabetes, autism, Down syndrome, deafness… Each story is a song about courage, self-belief and the desire to live a full life.
Through colorful pages, “ASK, DON’T BE AFRAID!” is not only a call for respect and understanding between people, but also a reminder for each of us to cherish our differences and love those around us.
Let’s explore “ASK, DON’T BE SHY!” to empower young souls and contribute to spreading the message of love to the community.
This book is suitable for all ages, especially for children who are in the process of forming their personality.
Let’s own “ASK, DON’T BE HESITATE!” to make this world more brilliant and humane!
