Unlock the big, buzzing world for your little learner! The 'Lighter Side' magazine turns interesting news stories into engaging adventures. We pick those stories that are appropriate and perfect for young minds ready to explore.

Tell me a little about the content of this children's magazine

We write each story keeping a curious child in mind, and think of the questions they would like answered (why do people become refugees? how did Virat Kohli train when he was young? what makes Japan prone to tsunamis?)

The stories range from geopolitics (why US and China trade and argue with each other), science (how did Chandrayaan land on the moon), cultural landmarks (why the song Vande Mataram was written), mythologies (incl. stories from the Ramayan) and loads of puzzles and games.

January 2026 issue is packed with stories including:

• Nigeria’s open-air art museum

• Asian festivals and mythological stories

• Comics stories about a bear cohabiting a California home

• Recent discoveries in Bolivia (on how dinosaurs could swim)

• An ophthalmologist's post on why kids need sunlight.

• January's theme is 'Kids Who Invented Cool Gadgets.'
