Take a trip with CRICKET Magazine to the middle and far East with stories, art, and articles from Japan, China, India, Iraq, Pakistan, and more.
We start off the journey in Japan with a powerful story about Eri, who learns how to turn her passion into profit. Enjoy a delightful, mischievous story from India and learn about the Hindu Festival of Kites. You and your children will find loads of inspiration from the true-life story of Laura Bridgman, who, after illness took her senses, learned to “hear” with her feet. In addition to even more worldwide stories, you’ll find lovely poems, engaging games and riddles, hands-on crafts, and more. As with every edition of CRICKET Magazine, this one is beautifully illustrated and full of helpful tips from our buggy friends
