I’ve been thinking a lot about the purpose of education lately… so many kids don’t realize the joy of learning new things… Help a kid learn something new today! #DailySTEM

People will admire your strengths, but connect with your vulnerabilities. Don’t be afraid to share them.

Sorry, but I really hope people who love #thewildrobotmovie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read. #thewildrobot
