Rep. Hoxha Reads to Students at Plymouth Center School

Hoxha read was called "Mother Bruce," which follows a bear named Bruce becomes a parent when the eggs he nabbed for his breakfast unexpectedly hatch.

His efforts to teach them to migrate south for the winter don't go quite as planned and he is then forced to physically travel with them by bus to Miami each winter.
