What it helps with
- Belonging and confidence
- Down syndrome and difference
- Feeling good about who you are
- Including everyone
Comprehension and discussion questions
Pick two or three, not all of them. “I don’t know” is a fine answer, and you can always come back to it another day.
- “What is something that makes you, you?”
- “How did Sofia show she was proud of who she is?”
- “What do you like about being different from your friends?”
- “How can you help someone feel they belong?”
- “Does everyone need to be the same to be friends?”
- “What makes you feel you belong somewhere?”
