Issue Seventeen

Crows are strange birds. They are not, to many, immediately beautiful. Their voices are harsh. They are black shadows, haunting us from high in the trees—then they land in the dirt with stuttering, staccato gestures. In this issue, we find beauty in this strange black bird. We find its bravery, its magic. We celebrate the coming of the season when crows become so noticeable as the leaves fall from the trees. In this issue, we also have a bird mix-up! If you don't want to cut up your magazine, or if you need more birds, we have a download! Enjoy! The target audience for each magazine is children ages 3–8, 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 ages, from 1 to 100.  Root & Star is published six times per year.
