Justice Sonia Sotomayor and award-winning artist Rafael Lopez create a kind and caring book about the differences that make each of us unique. A #1 New York Times bestseller! Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award! Feeling different, especially as a kid, can be tough. But in the same way that different types of plants and flowers make a garden more beautiful and enjoyable, different types of people make our world more vibrant and wonderful. In Just Ask, United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor celebrates the different abilities kids (and people of all ages) have. Using her own experience as a child who was diagnosed with diabetes, Justice Sotomayor writes about children with all sorts of challenges--and looks at the special powers those kids have as well. As the kids work together to build a community garden, asking questions of each other along the way, this book encourages readers to do the same: When we come across someone who is different from us but we're not sure why, all we have to do is Just Ask. Praise for Just Ask: * "Addressing topics too often ignored, this picture book presents information in a direct and wonderfully child-friendly way." --Booklist, *STARRED REVIEW* "An affirmative, delightfully diverse overview of disabilities." --Kirkus Reviews "A hopeful and sunny exploration of the many things that make us unique [with] dynamic and vibrant illustrations [that] emphasize each character’s unique abilities. . . . A thoughtful and empathetic story of inclusion." --SLJ
An enlightening blueprint of the secrets of reaching female consumers from the expert Just Ask a Woman is a powerful book about how to tap into female consumers' needs. Mary Quinlan, the founder of the premiere consultancy dedicated to marketing to women, has personally interviewed 3,000 women in the course of her research for Just Ask a Woman. Women are the decision-makers in an estimated eighty-five percent of household buying decisions, and yet far too often, products marketed specifically to them fail to connect with their needs. Here, Quinlan explores topics such as how women judge brands and advertising, how they make decisions, the effects of stress on their consumer behavior, and their increasing demands for service and communication. Quinlan rejects the traditional focus group approach in favor of highly energized and intimate talk sessions where women reveal their deeper feelings about products and services. In Just Ask a Woman marketers, brand managers, and advertisers will find a revelatory resource filled with ideas and action steps for building your brand with women-from a woman who has walked in a marketer's shoes.

I would like to share a message that will help you find peace in a seemingly chaotic world. A world that many find uncertain. They are based on everything I learned when I prayed for truth during a severe illness in 2018. I want to reveal how there is certainty in a higher truth and how God really works with us in our lives and the world. How this is perfect and how eternal love is behind all things. "I simply asked for the truth. I simply asked for help. The message that I received was, 'I am with you always.'" This prayer opened a door to a personal relationship and contact with God that I had lacked all my life. Several years of prayer and meditation followed as I was healed with the guidance and support of God and the Angels of Light. I learned so many things including the true nature of life and death, who God really is and why we are here on Earth. I learned who Jesus really is, the nature of free will and the perfection of everything that we experience in our lives. I learned the true nature of the spiritual conflict we all face between God's truth and Lucifer's lies. One of the most amazing things I learned was that all of this had always been mine, even though I had forgotten it. In fact, you have everything I have. God has given me a new life, and He can also give you a new life. I sincerely hope and wish that my book will inspire you to seek God for the truth that will set you free. "A surprising and miraculous story of courage and faith. Of overcoming incredible challenges and the power of prayer and God in our lives. 'JustasK The Answers Are Here and Now' contains words of wisdom, hope and guidance for finding peace in a tumultuous world. It reminds us that things are not always as they seem."
