I read from my book "Figuring" with original music by Yo-Yo Ma on cello and Kathryn Scott on piano from BORDERLESS LULLABIES — a charitable compilation of 20 songs and spoken-word recordings, with 100% of proceeds benefiting the wonderful nonprofit KIND (Kids In Need of Defense: http://supportkind.org), who represent unaccompanied immigrant and refugee children in their deportation proceedings, ensuring that no child stands in court alone.
