 Say hello to Sonia, planting a garden with her friends. Notice all the different types of plants and trees in the garden? Just like all the types of plants and trees, there are lots of different types of children. Sonia has diabetes and takes a shot of medicine called insulin to stay healthy. Sonia wonders if you ever need medicine to be healthy too? In this story you meet all of Sonia’s friends, who make use of tools to help them breathe or wheelchairs to get around. Just like the plants in a garden, each of us is different too. It makes gardens and our whole world more interesting and fun. Each of us has unique powers. What will you do with your powers?  (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award 2021-2022)
