OK, this is a shameless plug. It has nothing whatever to do with geopolitics, history, science,
or whatever else we at TTP normally focus on.
My kid sister Judy has written a book - and it would just be wrong if I
didn't tell you about it.
Judy teaches natural history at the Heard Museum near Dallas. What that means is that her calling is
teaching children to love nature and the critters you find in it. Now she's written a book to impart that love
for children everywhere.
Entitled Jessica
The Furry Baroo, it's about a dog, Jessica, and her encounters in the woods
with various wild things like skunks and snakes. It's an entertaining and fun way for a young child to understand
and appreciate them.
The book is beautifully illustrated, has a story kids will
really like, so if you know a young person under 12 you might consider it for
them. It's also a fun book to read aloud
to a child too young to read themselves.
So - congratulations to Judy, my sister the
author!
