How to Make a Zine
A zine (pronounced ‘zeen’, like the end of magazine) is a self-published mini magazine. Almost like a mini book, but they are made from one piece of paper folded up to make 8 pages. They are easy to make and fun to read and share.
Children try to use books like smartphones
Studies show that about one in three children instinctively try to swipe physical books as if they were smartphones or tablets. Growing up in a digital-first world, many kids are so used to touchscreens that they apply the same gestures to traditional books, expecting pages to turn with a swipe.
Episode 14: A Book About Grief and Loss
Children’s books about grief can be a gentle support when it’s hard to find the right words, giving children a way to understand and express big emotions like sadness, anger, fear, and loss. We talk to author Lalu Mokuku about her new book Butterfly Heart.
Butterfly Heart
Butterfly Heart is a beautifully tender story of a young friendship between two young girls and the grief and healing that follows when one falls ill and passes away.
The Princess In The Kitchen Garden
A beautifully written and illustrated book about a young girl’s grief when her mother dies and she is left to take care of her little brother while her busy father escapes to his study – all three of them lost in their sadness.
