May 2020 Wild Kids Magazine
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.

Wild Kids Magazine for April 2020
Welcome to the April issue of Wild Kids Magazine. This month is a different sort of month for most of us around the world, so I’ve adapted this month’s issue to reflect that.

It’s important to note that even in times like these (especially in times like these), nature is vitally important for our emotional and physical health. Sunshine, fresh air and light exercise are all great ways to further…
