There was only one hero in that room today. The world is laughing and disgusted with the others. 💛💙

I encourage everyone who is frustrated and disgusted right now to download 5 Calls and start contacting your Congresspeople. Choose your issue, your talking points, and your elected representatives with a few taps and you can make calls that make a difference-immediately!

Wacky, weird, and wild as Kate McKinnon is! Kids who love Roald Dahl tales will get into the world of Mad Science with Millicent Squibb and the 3 Porch sisters. If you get a chance to hear Kate read the story in audiobook format, you will be blown away by the range and variety of her voices!

So if you haven’t discovered @katemessner.bsky.social History Smashers series, you should start with this one! Great way to center truth and facts with history for our kiddos. Timely and true. #kidlit
