Hi everybody! Today I'm doing a favor for my friend Maria who's trying to publish a math book. All the info for how you can help is below. Maria is AWESOME, and she's a really cool teacher.
Check out the info below:
Moebius Noodles is a free book and community we are building for parents
and educators of children birth to five. We are running a crowd-funding
campaign for it, which ends in four days.
