Maybe Just Ask Me!

By Katie Mazeika

Book Overview

Based on the author's own childhood experience, this clever and heartfelt picture book follows a young girl who wants to bring discussion of her disability into the open, exploring themes of acknowledging and celebrating differences.

Mazie wears an eyepatch and a head scarf, and on her first day at a new school she's prepared for her classmates to wonder why. And they do, but no one talks to her about it. Instead, wild rumors fly around the classroom that she's a pirate or a dragon burned off her hair Mazie doesn't mind explaining her disability, but can she find the courage to tell the other kids to just ask her?

Life lesson for young and old

This is a good life lesson for young and old in overcoming awkward, getting past insensitive and creating a friendship. How embarrassed am I that I didn't think to teach "just ask" before.
