My name is Mark Villareal, and I am the author of 13 books. I first began writing Business and Leadership books, but over time I discovered a true passion for writing Children’s books. I created a six-book series titled The Adventures of Park Ranger Brock Cliffhanger & His Jr. Park Rangers, where Brock and his Jr. Park Rangers visit different State and National Parks to explore and learn about history, safety, preservation, wildlife, and plant life, while also learning important foundational values such as leadership, teamwork, kindness, and service to others.

My name is Mike Wang, and I’m the author of Best Dad Ever (No Takebacks!). I’m a father, entrepreneur, and storyteller who was inspired to write this book from the real-life adventures and everyday moments I share with my daughter, Kiara (Ga). I wanted to create a story that celebrates the special bond between dads and daughters through humor, imagination, and heartfelt memories.

Aloha, I’m Peggy Kan Hai—a Psychotherapist, Author, Mother, and lifelong storyteller.

Dear Readers,
This May is a very special milestone for us at Kidlio-mag-we are celebrating six wonderful years of sharing stories, ideas, and creativity with children and families across the globe. What began as a small initiative to inspire young minds has now grown into a vibrant community, and this journey would not have been possible without your immense love and support.
Every message, every word of encouragement, and every reader who has joined us along the way has fueled our passion to keep creating meaningful content for kids. Your trust and enthusiasm have been the heartbeat of Kidliomag, and we are deeply grateful for it.
As we step into our seventh year, we promise to continue bringing you inspiring stories, thoughtful articles, and creative features that spark imagina-tion and nurture young readers. Together, let’s keep celebrating the joy of reading and storytell-ing.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to many more years of learning, laughter, and creativi-ty with Kidliomag!
With gratitude and joy,

I am a children’s book author passionate about storytelling, creativity, and literacy. Before writing for children, I co-founded and led an international creative agency, where I helped global brands tell meaningful stories. After selling my company, I returned to what first inspired me as a child, storytelling. I studied children’s literature at the University of Chicago Graham School and began writing picture books inspired by my two sons. Today, I create stories that nurture imagination, encourage kindness, and spark connection between children and the adults in their lives.

Dear Young Readers,

Welcome to the April edition of KidlioMag, bursting with the vibrant colors of spring and the joy of Easter!
This time of the year is truly magical, as the world wakes up from its winter slumber. The trees are blossoming, the days are brighter, and nature is alive with fresh energy. Spring reminds us of the beauty of new beginnings and the im-portance of cherishing the world around us.
April also brings the festive spirit of Easter, a time for family, fun, and hope. Whether you’re painting eggs in dazzling colors, participating in thrilling egg hunts, or savoring delicious chocolate treats, Easter is all about spreading joy and kindness.
Remember, every new season is a chance to grow and shine brighter. Let’s step into April with enthusiasm and gratitude, making the most of these wonderful moments.
Happy Reading and Happy Spring!

March is a month of color, celebration, and reflection. Around the world, people come together to honor traditions that remind us of joy, unity, and responsibility.
