Summary of ¡Solo pregunta!: Sé Diferente, Sé Valiente, Sé Tú

In a sunlit community garden bursting with freshly turned earth, young Sonia teams up with vibrant friends Rafael, Anthony, and Anh, each wielding unique talents that sprout like wildflowers amid their differences. Together they transform an ordinary afternoon into a symphony of color, scent, and shared purpose. Rafael, mindful of asthma’s stubborn grip, slows his breath to paint dazzling stones that mark seed rows; Anthony, swift in his wheelchair, steers the group with determined energy; thoughtful Anh, who stutters, listens harder than anyone and places every seedling exactly where it can thrive. Inspired by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s own childhood journey with diabetes, ¡Solo pregunta! invites classrooms, church groups, and families to celebrate Health Equity and Education Equity through playful collaboration. Award-winning illustrator Rafael López drenches every page in electric color, turning canes, inhalers, and wheelchairs into bold badges of ingenuity. When a puzzled child wonders why Anthony rolls instead of runs, Sonia answers with fearless honesty, proving that asking respectful questions unlocks empathy rather than awkward silence. Will your students dare to trade whispers for brave inquiries and cultivate a garden where every difference blooms? Click to learn more and sow curiosity today.
