Best Friends Forever: Enfants Terribles Magazine New Issue Out!

“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow” — Shakespeare

enfants terribles magazine

Issue 12 of Enfants Terribles Magazine entitled “Best Friends Forever” released a few days ago and once again I am blown away by what we have accomplished. With each issue I am more proud of what our talented little team can put together.

In this issue, we pay tribute to friendship in all it’s splendour. Old friends, new friends, best friends, imaginary friends. Friendship comes in all shapes and colours. Sometimes it grows effortlessly and out of the blue. Sometimes it lasts forever and sometimes an eternity fits into a short moment of time.

Here are just a few things you’ll find in this issue, which, by the way is available for free online:

THE KIDS KNOW BETTER
Our Children’s Voices feature is about opening our eyes to the wisdom our children possess naturally. We asked the kids to share their thoughts on how to be a good friend and you’ll love their answers for their clear-sightedness and open, honest hearts.

ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE
As with every issue, all editorials and artwork in the magazine has been created specifically for the issue’s theme, in order to give readers a unique and exciting visual storybook experience, that tells tales from the crooks and corners of our playful imaginations.

As always you’ll also find fun projects to do with your children, interviews with artists and small clothing companies, and plenty of visual inspiration. You can access the complete issue online for free.

You might notice that we’ve changed our look a little bit with this new issue. We have a new logo and thus also a new cover style. In close collaboration with our new art director Julie Panton we have worked hard to make Enfants Terribles Magazine into a playful and pleasant reading experience. I hope you like what we’ve done, just as I hope you’ll enjoy the Best Friends Forever issue.

Enjoy!

Please join Ro, Sen and me for an informal picnic and play at Vincent Massey park. This is large park, with grassy fields, trees and boulders to climb, clean bathrooms, fountains, barbecues and picnic tables. Situated near the river and some nice lookouts (no safe access to play in the river though). The idea is to meet in a casual way and connect in the real world, let our kids play, and have some good conversation. Photo taking is totally optional!

When: Thursday July 9th, 2015, from 10:30 am-1 pm, easy come, easy go

Where: Vincent Massey Park, see map here, we will be set up around S2 area, more information about the park is here

Who: Everyone is welcome

I would recommend each person bring water and snacks for themselves and their children. Please feel welcome, but not obliged, to bring something to share. There are picnic tables where potluck items can be placed. Lots of parking is available and close to where we will be set up. Parking rates are $1 for 30 minutes up to daily maximum of $7.25.

Please send me an email or leave a comment below if you are interested in meeting up. While my inclination is to keep things minimal, simple food and free play, it may also be nice to have something special to mark the event. Please be in touch!
