Sometimes it takes a children’s book to remind us of how easy it is to be a kinder person, to be a better person. 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? In her new book, Just Help! How to Build A Better World, a story inspired by her own family’s desire to help others, 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.

  • 83-year-old justice participated in arguments remotely, court says
  • Justice Sotomayor, who has diabetes, has already been doing so
  • Justice Neil Gorsuch has not worn a mask at arguments this month. At argument this week, Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett took theirs off while asking questions. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Elena Kagan kept theirs on the entire time.
