‘Kids for Kids’ is a mini-magazine (a zine) for kids, by kids of art, stories, poetry, comics.

Honoring and appreciating children’s creativity and expressions, with the main impetus behind the project being that I imagined kids would really enjoy seeing each other’s art, comics, stories, and poems… Hence, this community project, for kids by kids!

Description

The idea for making a kids zine came about when my daughter, Maude was little, on a trip to the SW Library. We really love adult-made kids’ books, but I also adore kid’s creative expressions. Children have original minds that think of things differently than adults, and their art (and role-play) and writing can be so cute, beautiful, clever, funny,  interesting. It made me think kids would love seeing art and writing by other kids in a book. That was some years ago. Once able to get to the project during the pandemic, it was fairly slow going collecting what you see inside here. 

This is a first for this press—the children’s book sector. I may make another one next year or it may be a one-off depending on how things go. Seeing kids’ creative work as their arts slowly trickled in was a delight, so I will hope to do another.
