about us
We believe great stories should spark curiosity. That’s why we craft distinct content for every stage of a lifelong learning journey. We explain the world to the young and explore it with the grown-ups.
There is something here for everyone who loves to learn, travel, and think.
For the Curious Kids:
What if the best way for kids to understand our big, complicated world was through a funny comic about a bear. One who has moved into a California family’s basement. That could teach us about what happens to wildlife when forests disappear!
That’s the idea behind our new children’s magazine. We tell the stories of our planet through comic sketches and hilarious narratives.
We publish The Lighter Side magazine. It is a monthly look at news and travel for young minds. We also offer writing courses and podcasts for children. We help them find their voice.
For the Engaged Adults: We create content for you, too. Our travel podcasts explore new places. Our newsletters deliver news. They also offer a sharp, satirical look at society. We believe in staying informed. We also believe in not taking it all too seriously.
what do we offer?
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.
A personalised 1-on-1 writing course for children that will help them improve their writing skills and become a published author. Experiment with different genres by writing short stories, think about plots, character development and building plot twists!
This journal is meant to be a space where each of us - adult or child - can individually document the magic of each holiday. Gift this special keepsake to yourself, a dear friend, or a kid. Imagine the joy of reading travel tales and memories, that last a lifetime!

I started my career as a banker, helping companies raise money and telling rich people where to put their money. I then moved over to edtech and built algorithms to help children who thought their math skills were broken. Now I tell stories. I hope this makes more sense than compound interest.

I began with beakers and equations, as an engineer with a great love for chemistry. Then I traded the lab for a chalkboard in rooms full of little children who had more heart than money. I circled back to tech, telling it how to teach. Now, I work with words and ideas. It turns out people and stories are the most interesting chemistry of all.
