We Dream of Wild Sweets
January/February 2016
We were so young! Our very first issue, in which Root and Star, drawn by the wonderful Russian artist Lida Larina, had their very first adventure together. These pages also feature French artist Aliette Amm and our friend Abbi Israelsen, who went on to fill so many of our pages!
40 full-color pages of beauty and life.
The target audience for each magazine is children ages 2-8, or children who are being read to and/or are just learning to read—but because children are never far from their siblings and caregivers, we created a magazine that can be enjoyed by all age groups.
