  1. Anita Millican was the first woman to be licensed as an IndyCar mechanic.

    The playful #ChildrensBook The Trouble with Howard introduces Anita, the mechanic, Howard, the driver, and Trouble, a skunk the duo rescue on their way to a race.

    Our learning materials focus on good sportsmanship, teamwork, and much more. We pair the book with a Team Penske news story highlighting Caitlyn Brown, the first woman to win IndyCar500 as a pit crew member.

    Great for ELA! #KidLit

  2. "When #Rabbi #EdRosenthal, Founder & CEO of #RepairtheSea, received an unexpected phone call two years ago from #RachelleBurk, he had no idea that the conversation would turn into something much bigger than he could have imagined. Rachelle #Burk, an acclaimed #childrensbook #author and avid scuba diver, asked #Rabbi Ed if he would be interested in a #book for young readers to share his love of the Sea and his desire to protect it that she would write. Having written a number of other #Jewish children’s #books including “She’s a #Mensch! Jewish Women Who Rocked the World” and “Space #Torah: Astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman’s Cosmic #Mitzvah,” Rachelle shared with Rabbi Ed that, as a scuba diver, she had always wanted to write a book about the undersea world. Featuring Rabbi Ed and Repair the Sea’s Reverse #Tashlich program would be the perfect way to accomplish that goal."
