Guest post by Eymer Brand Laboratories on our work together for the Responsible Flushing Alliance, a non-profit trade group based in Seattle. We’ve been building a bank of activities and worksheets for PreK–6 and have plans to create curriculum and content for K–8 schools in the US. I handle the conceptual development, copywriting and project management, while Doug works his magic with design and illustration.
Although I've been writing content and curriculum for TogetherCounts.com over the past seven years, this is the first time I've been responsible for the entire Schools section of the website. During the spring and summer of 2018, I developed the content and curriculum for all four levels — Pre-K, Grades K–2, Grades 3–5, and Grades 6–8 — plus training modules for the Educator Support Center, at-home activity guides and lesson plans to be used in conjunction with FDA (Federal Food and Drug Administration) charts and guidelines.

A sweet (yet powerful) little ditty on doing what you love. If not for a living, then at least for a while each day. This FableSnack, a short animated film from the prolific folks at FableVision, is about "the inner child in all of us, and the eternal struggle to retain our sense of self in a busy world." It reminds us to not "trade joy for a job," as FableVision's Paul Reynolds puts it. Not always easy, but always worth remembering. It was written and drawn by the talented Peter H. Reynolds, author and illustrator of The Dot, Ish and dozens of other delightful children's books and multimedia products. I knew Peter, founder of FableVision, and his twin brother Paul, now CEO, back in our college days and had a hunch they'd go on to do great things. Doing such inspired and meaningful work on such a grand scale is a great thing indeed. Being rockstar media producers and such nice, grounded people at the same time is even greater.
About FableVision In 1996, FableVision's founder, Peter H. Reynolds, had a vision: to create a "social change agency" to help move the world to a better place. FableVision is dedicated to helping ALL learners reach their full potential and to telling "stories that matter, stories that move."

Peter's Tips on Creativity Creative thinking is the fuel for getting things going. Dreaming about the project is a huge part of the process. The actual 'doing' requires following through on the dream, but the dream is the rough sketch.
A Film by FableVision Studios: He Was Me Written and drawn by Peter H. Reynolds, He Was Me is a quiet story about the inner child in all of us, and the eternal struggle to retain our sense of self in a busy world. In the film, as a man waits at a bus stop in the rain, his inner child is brought poignantly to life as he reflects on his past and ponders his future.
