Nine-year-old Elana James once raced across playgrounds, danced without a care, and dreamed of becoming a superstar. But everything changed when illness began stealing the energy and joy she once took for granted. Now, from the sidelines of soccer games and school dances, she asks a question that echoes in her heart: Why me? As Elana struggles with her new reality, she begins to discover something even more powerful than perfect health-resilience, hope, and the ability to lift others up even while facing her own challenges. Through quiet strength and one bold idea, she sparks a movement of connection, courage, and healing in her school and beyond. Why Me? Why Not? is a tender, empowering story that reminds readers-young and old-that strength isn't measured by how fast you can run or how high you can jump, but by how bravely you rise when life tries to hold you down.
