Apparently it's June?? A great month for eating a mango ice cream bar from Trader Joe's, becoming completely overwhelmed by your family's summer calendar, and leaving a review of my book somewhere/everywhere on the internet.
You don't have to buy from Amazon to write a review there, FYI…
Back when I was doing reporting for my book, I visited biologist Lauren O'Connell at Stanford and learned all about poison frog parenting.
