Good morning! Here is a three-day old sea-otter pup, snoozing on their Mama. The image is by one my favourite wildlife photographers, Suzi Eszterhas, who runs girlswhoclick.org - an organisation that mentors girls and young women interested in nature photography. Feel free to share.

A little fuzzy, dark brown sea-otter pup, sleeping peacefully on top of their Mama's belly, as she floats on her back.

Keen to read more academic work on the history of complementary schools teaching the home/heritage languages of migrants communities. Interested in any period (before the present), any language, and any place — doesn't have to be UK/European but historical perspectives essential!
