The first issue of Kids On Wheels is out, and it looks great!

This is the new magazine that I'm involved in, an offshoot of the KOW resource guide. I blogged about this most recently here and here. My assignments morphed while I was working on them - downhill racing got bumped, swimming with dolphins got promoted, and the fiction is being held out for the second issue, after I can write a new ending.

Subscribers to KOW get two magazines bundled together. One is the kids' edition, which speaks directly to 8- to 12-year-olds. We quote kids as much as we can, and try to be a conduit for peer-to-peer sharing and discussion.

The other edition is for parents of children who use wheelchairs, so it functions as an information guide and support network. If you know someone who could benefit from this, here's the link, spread the word.
