/* Pickle the Classroom Guinea Pig — picklethebook.com
   House style: no build, no frameworks, no external requests. Mobile first.
   Design concept: a picture-book spread of classroom moments on warm cream paper.
   Signature: Pickle's pawprint + pink-glitter trail wandering down the page.
   Type roles (strict): Chewy = hero title + section headings ONLY.
   Literata 700 = all interface text. Caveat = small handwritten asides. */
