I am someone who is lucky to wear many hats. I am a wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, and part of a very big extended family. I am a retired lawyer, I have had a baking business, and then, as a stay-at-home, mom, I definitely had a lot of jobs as the Co-CEO of our family! And now, I am happy to say that I am a published author

I am a life-long visual artist who uses art making as a form of therapy and communication. In addition to illustrating many children’s books, I run my own design firm that I (kind of) fell into when I lived in Philadelphia for a decade. I now live in Ecuador with my husband and daughter and have an ever-growing adult fantasy and children’s book library.

My name is Martine Vanderheyden-Lundahl. I was born in Belgium, in Wallonia, the French-speaking part. My father is Belgian, and my mother is Rwandan. I am super proud of them both.

Hi, I live in London with my hubby and 2 boys. My background is in science, but I have always enjoyed writing. Those who know me well know my need for detail and how I seek people who know how to tell a good story! This is my first book, my passion project, so this world is very new to me.

Dear Readers,
How much screen time is too much screen time?
Screen time isn’t always unhealthy, but we need to monitor what content children engage with and what is best for their learning and overall mental and physical development. There are also ways that parents can moderate and manage their child’s screen time to help ensure that kids have a healthy relationship with their screens according to their age.
It is always challenging for me to create content that is fun and educational at the same time. This feeling multiplies when we have the pressure to put together the best quality content that our readers are proud of!
This month, we have Independence Day of India on the 15th of August, so we included facts about Chandrayaan 3, a story of patriotism and activities that promote love, peace, diversity, and inclusion.
Please share your feedback at kidliomag@gmail.com.
Happy Independence Day!
Happy Reading!

I would describe myself as someone who cherishes the essence of the child I once was, and undoubtedly, I am an unbounded dreamer at heart.

July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades, and concerts to more casual family gatherings. The skies light up with fireworks, and the streets are painted red, white, and blue. It’s pretty clear that Independence Day is one of America’s favorite holidays. But no matter where you live, there are tons of Independence Day activities to look forward to, and they don’t stop at the 4th of July. There are other interesting days in July like International Tiger Day, Chocolate Day, etc. So get ready to celebrate the events all through the month with the Kidliomag July edition.
