Share your experiences, concerns and ideas about any early childhood issue you care about. Last March, 100 stories from parents, professionals and employers were delivered to legislators as part of Early Childhood Day at the Legislature (click here to learn more). Legislators remarked on the how valuable the stories were in putting "faces" on policy issues and constituents were empowered by the opportunity to share their ideas and be influential.

This year, we hope to deliver an even heftier Walk in My Shoes Storybook to legislators. Thanks in advance for your time in writing ten sentences by Monday, March 8th. Any issue matters, such as:

• Is child care or health care affordable for your family or the families you work with?
• Do you have access to a quality pre-kindergarten program?
• Is your child thriving because of coordinated early intervention services?
• Are you an employer that offers paid time off so employees can recover from illness or care for a sick child?
• How important is your community playgroup or children's program?
