Get to Know our New Kid Zone Writers!
Tell us a bit about yourselves. How old are you and what grade are you in? What are some of your favourite hobbies?
Luca: I am 9 years old and in grade 4. My favourite hobbies are reading, gaming, playing with my friends, drawing, and doing math in my head.
Nico: I am 6 years old and in grade 2. I love to play with Transformers, build with Lego, and battle with my Bakugan toys. I love to swim, play on the swings and the play yard. Cuddles and story time with my dads at night is my favourite!
Tell us about your family, including any pets you might have.
Luca: I have two dads – a teacher and a doctor. I have a very annoying brother, Nico, and a cute cat named Mango Tango – Mango for short. We have two sisters who live in Guelph and are 11 and 6. I have another sister who lives in Ottawa. She is 12. I have a Great-Aunt that lives very close to us. I have three uncles and one aunt. We call them Tíos and Tía – that’s uncles and aunt in Spanish. I have two grandmas and two grandpas – one grandpa unfortunately died. I also have family in Uruguay and some of my cousins live in the U.S.
Nico: I have two grandmas and two grandpas but one of them died. I have one great aunt and two dads. I have one cat and three sisters and one brother. My cat is furry and soft and she purrs very loudly when she’s happy! I love her a lot.
Since Thanksgiving is near, tell us what you’re most thankful for. You can even include your favourite Thanksgiving foods.
Luca: I am thankful for my family and friends because they keep me company and I am alive because of them. Some of them are very fun to play with. I’m not a big fan of turkey but I like my Tía’s mashed potatoes with cheese.
Nico: I am thankful for my wonderful family, and my friends that I play with at school. At Thanksgiving I love turkey and my Tía’s mashed potatoes. I love chicken soup and dessert!
Meet our newest Kid Zone writers, 9 and 7 year old brothers Luca and Nico. Each month, they’ll be sharing perspectives on life as a child sees it.
