A Year and a Day, Issue 12: Under Ground
AYAAD Issue 12
Regular price $22.50In the winter, it seems like the world is in a state of deep sleep. Trees are bare, many birds have migrated, some animals have gone into hibernation and most plants have died away. But under the earth, all is still busy, preparing for the spring to come, when seeds can unfold their roots and begin to grow again.
In this issue you will find three stories all connected to the life of the underground, a life that happens under our feet and out of sight, but one that is so important for all living creatures.
As well as opening up a whole new world of underground activity, we hope that by the time you finish reading this magazine you will also know how to:
- Make a toilet roll mole
- Create a wormery - including one you can eat!
- Identify burrowing animals
- Dig for treasure
- Charm worms
... And much more!

A Year and a Day, Issue 16: Moon
AYAAD Issue 16
Regular price $22.50It's winter, and as the last leaves fall from the trees, and the nights are at their longest, the sky seems darker and wider than ever. On cold, crisp and cloudless nights, there's nothing better than a bit of moon-gazing. Since the beginning of time, humans have looked to the moon with wonder, and with a lingering question: what is it exactly that stares back at us?
In this issue, you will discover three stories that tell us something about the nature of the moon: its origin, its phases and whether it could be a place that humans could call home. And by the time you have read this magazine, we hope that you will be able to make a moon viewer, name the moon's phases, create a lunar calendar, draw the moon, craft a moon lantern... and much more!
