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.

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 :).
