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.
