This Is How We Do It

Hey, guys,

How do you spend your day? After school, do you play in a park? Read a good book? Or watch your favourite show? This Is How We Do It: One Day in the Lives of Seven Kids from around the World by Matt Lomothe is a book about seven real kids from Peru, Italy, Uganda, Iran, India, Japan and Russia. Find out how each one of them spends a single day: what their homes and schools look like, what they eat and wear, and so much more. Plus the pictures are pretty cool, too. Check out this short video:

Hey, guys,

The May issue of chickaDEE is paws-itively amazing! Read all about the incredible talents and quirky personalities of some pretty cool canines. And if you like to make stuff, this is the issue for you. Whirl up a space smoothie, design a colourful T-shirt and create a whistling pan-flute. Have fun!
