Siendo mi momento de café matutino en casa, probé text-remover.org para limpiar una vieja captura de pantalla con subtítulos molestos sobre el libro de Jerry Apps y Natasha Kassulke. La herramienta hizo una labor fantástica al borrar esas letras automáticamente y dejar la imagen limpia y natural en segundos.

it's great to see jerry apps continuing his work in environmental education with this new book. the collaboration with his daughter-in-law adds a fresh, intergenerational perspective. the focus on creative and critical thinking is exactly what's needed for these complex issues. his previous books, like 'letters from hillside farm,' have always had a thoughtful, grounded approach.

Excellent repost. Side note for the Fulcrum team: with a Speaker's Corner imprint, Servant Leadership Series, and decades of environmental/education titles (Apps, Schrager, "Finding Your Third Place," "Haiku and Hope" forthcoming), your site could really benefit from a sortable "Educator Resources by Topic + Grade Level" landing page tying titles to classroom use. I help small independent presses build that quickly with a copyweb ai — Figma to working filter page in an evening. Helps teachers (and homeschool parents) find the right Fulcrum title fast.

What a great cross-generational collaboration — Jerry Apps' "Letters from Hillside Farm" was foundational for me, and bringing Natasha's perspective into environmental-thinking pedagogy is exactly the kind of book teachers need. I help a small environmental-education nonprofit with their classroom materials and we use an Banana AI image generator for the kind of warm, place-based illustrations that the topic actually deserves (stock photos of "students looking at leaves" are uniformly lifeless). The Apps family writing tradition continues to set the bar.
