These inspiring stories have all been made into books
These are the stories that inspired us this week:
Sofia Sanchez, a California fifth-grader who has Down syndrome, wants others to know that anything's possible.
A book about her, called "Ride the Wave," shows how she did just that: with the aid of a dog that helps guide children with special needs.
"We don’t need to focus on the Down syndrome or her disability. It’s more about what can we do to support you and your ability," Sofia's mom said.
Meanwhile, an 11-year-old boy with autism in California said he’s been bullied because of it. So, he decided to write a book about it.
"It makes you understand the autism spectrum in a very simple way," Alex Grevious said.
He said he wrote the book to advocate for himself and let people know he just wants to be treated like everyone else.
And Polyvois Christoforos, who was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old, had a difficult time expressing himself when he was younger.
But the Massachusetts native has used his gift of creating beautiful art to make up for that. He's also wrote and illustrated a book called "Sammy Smart Guy."
