anorak magazine

goodness, i'm totally digging this magazine for kids called anorak that i just discovered over on stickers and donuts. the illustrations are all so colorful and fun-- no wonder it's called 'the happy mag for kids'! i totally want to illustrate for them. do you think maybe they'd like my girl in a bear hat character?

anyway, the mag is based in the uk, and is a treasure trove for kids. the website features games, coloring sheets, stories, videos, and more, and i can imagine the real-life version is much the same. i'll have to go to borders or barnes & noble to pick up a copy!

here's part of the magazine's mission:

anorak’s main philosophy is to encourage children to make their own decisions and is here to amplify their voices. it has at the core of its offering a passion for words and images that challenge and stimulate.

whenever i have kids, this will definitely be at the top of my list for them! it reminds me of how much i used to love highlights magazine as a kid-- this seems even better!
