A shorter work week benefits people and workplaces.
4-day pilot in dozens of companies for 6 months:
✔️Burnout, stress, anxiety drop
✔️Pace increases, revenue up 8.1% (37.6% over prior year)
✔️Satisfaction, balance, exercise, leisure, sleep improve
Nearly all plan to continue.
Heartbroken once again. Children in school, Jews in a synagogue, Muslims in a mosque, LGTBQ+ folks in a gay bar. Safe places are not safe in the US. Not without gun control. If you’re not for gun reforms, don’t tweet your prayers. Fed up with hypocrisy.

It's Banned Books Week & we want you to have the resources you need to make a case for challenged books in the classroom.

Another upcoming title to look out for! FIGHT BACK: leeandlow.com/books/fight-ba…
Everything changes for thirteen-year-old Aaliyah after a terrorist attack: her school bans the hijab, and she's attacked and intimidated for making her choice. Can she find allies--friends to fight back?
The story explores the impact on young people living with a constant awareness of violence, recitations of gun violence, desire to get justice, tempered by fear of being labeled a snitch.
Authentic, complex, and compelling friendships lie at the heart of this timely novel.
We're gearing up for the release of Snitchers on 9/20!
In this hard-hitting YA, 3 friends team up to solve the murder of a young boy in their neighborhood. But they soon find out that the truth isn't as straightforward as they thought it would be...
