  Welcome to the May issue of Wild Kids Magazine.  To be honest, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get this issue out.  I’ve been rather sick, a consequence of burning my candle at both ends far too much the past few months and being very sleep deprived and stressed right when I needed a healthy immune system.  I’ve been feeling better the last few days though and I put together an issue after all.  I used last May’s issue as a template and I’m afraid I had to use the same poetry page, but I put together some new things to try to bring you some nature fun…
