You are Enough: A book about Inclusion
Sold Out
Hardcover
It can be hard to be different-whether because of how you look, where you live, or what you can or can't do. But wouldn't it be boring if we were all the same? Being different is great! Being different is what makes you YOU.
This inclusive and empowering picture book from Sofia Sanchez-an 11-year-old model and actress with Down syndrome-reminds readers how important it is to embrace your differences, be confident, and be proud of who you are. Imagine all of the wonderful things you can do if you don't let anyone stop you! You are enough just how you are.
Sofia is unique, but her message is universal: We all belong. So each spread features beautiful, full-color illustrations of a full cast of kid characters with all kinds of backgrounds, experiences, and abilities.
This book also includes back matter with a brief bio of Sofia and her journey so far, as well as additional information about Down syndrome and how we can all be more accepting, more inclusive, and more kind.

Sofia loves people, and she first went viral for her video that told the world Down syndrome is not scary... it's exciting! When she's not speaking up and following her dreams, Sofia loves to sing, do ballet, eat, and give hugs! Sofia lives in Northern California with her parents, three older brothers, two dogs, and a cat.
