Stories are waves
Children at my daughter’s developmental stage identify most strongly with their own gender, and reading about girls who have epic adventures has helped my daughter expand her own possible futures.

Uganda is Turning Its Children into Wildlife Protectors
Uganda is educating its school children on the importance of conservation and protecting the nation’s endangered animals.
