    Loved writing the Book of the Month with Carmen Fariña for the last 4 years. Inspiring themes that speak to children as well as adults. Perfect for read-alouds!

    📚 Think about the things in your personal and professional lives you have been putting off. Do not be afraid to take a risk. Say “yes” instead of “no,” embrace the unknown, and you will attract opportunities you cannot imagine. 📚

    We’ve all seen it: it’s Andrew, the Bully. He bullies other elected officials, he bullies anyone who criticizes him & he even bullies the media with his references to your “small questions.” Now his budget bullies our children and families by denying them opportunity.
