  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Cheryl Richardson, 
a talented and creative teacher from Richmond, Texas who has added 
author to her list of accomplishments.
  As a fourth grade teacher at Manford Williams Elementary in Richmond, 
Ms. Richardson recently published her first children's book. You might 
recognize her under her pen name, Giddy Gragert. Fufu's Bistro is about 
a young boy who plays with his food when one day his food starts 
playing back. His imagination takes him on a journey around the world. 
By combining her love of travel and her daughter's love for playing 
with food, Cheryl wrote a book that inspires creativity and curiosity 
in young children. Cheryl selflessly dedicates her time to helping 
children succeed. This new book is just another way Cheryl will be able 
to inspire kids to dream big. We are all proud of Ms. Richardson's hard 
work.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations to Cheryl, or Giddy, on her first book.
