Bruce and I distributed free books and I provided free demonstration lessons for teachers at a number of Head Starts and elementary schools where Bruce had contacts. Hoopoe Books https://hoopoebooks.com/

gently provide children with opportunities to use analogical thinking and develop empathy. Bruce loved these beautiful teaching stories as much as I do. I got to stay with BJ and Bruce in their beautiful home and spend time with them when we had schools to visit. Bruce was dedicated to our work with The Institue for the Study of Human Knowledge as well. May his memory forever be a blessing.

Thank you for sharing! Bruce loved his work with Hoopoe books. Thank you for the wonderful work you both did and that you continue to do. He even shared some of the children’s books with us staff and we read the Lion Who Saw Himself in the Water together with a colleague:) I made a monthly donation to Hoopoe dedicated to Bruce. I hope his presence lives on.
