February 11, 2022

Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor of the Supreme Court of the United States has authored Just Help! How to Build a Better World, a book about teaching young readers about helping their communities.

From the publisher:

From the author of the #1?New York Times?bestseller?Just Ask!?comes a fun and meaningful story about making the world–and your community–better, one action at a time, that asks the question: Who will you help today?

Every night when Sonia goes to bed, Mami asks her the same question:?How did you help today??And since Sonia wants to help her community, just like her Mami does, she always makes sure she has a good answer to Mami’s question.

In a story inspired by her own family’s desire to help others, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor takes young readers on a journey through a neighborhood where kids and adults, activists and bus drivers, friends and strangers all help one another to build a better world for themselves and their community.

With art by award-winning illustrator Angela Dominguez, this book shows how we can all help make the world a better place each and every day.
