Richard Lam is someone who finds joy in both inspiring others and learning from them. He’s been a teacher and a student for most of his life—and he sees every challenge as a chance to grow.

Joker went second, using his arms and tail to swing from one tree branch to the next, his limbs splayed out like a spider as he moved through the trees. Genius the fox walked alongside Ellie on the spongy jungle earth, while Rattle slithered behind them, doing his best to keep up.”

“Five animal friends who knew each other from school had spent the day playing in the jungle and had camped for the night. They are all sound asleep and snoring loudly. Ellie the female elephant and Genius the male red fox are under a huge tree. Rattle the male rattlesnake is sleeping with his eyes open and body wrapped around a branch like a tight knot. Joker the male brown spider monkey is sleeping on his belly on another branch while Echo the male blue macaw is perched on a branch above Joker.”
