Do you live in Texas? Get the book club together, get the group chat together, get the cousins together, get whatever crew you have together & get on the phone. The special session to consider this bill (again!) is next Tuesday 7/22 so this is the week to really lay into them.
Texas! Saddle up again! 1/3

So many GOOD government programs are being cut, including this one that reaches 300,000 people across our great state of Colorado. Please contact your senators and representatives now to save Colorado Humanities coloradohumanities.org

Fun morning at Steamboat Montessori where I gave my author and dolphin program. These kids were acting out an ocean food chain, and afterwards they asked GREAT questions. School visit #26 this year :).
