Global news for curious kids
The Sunday Blender turns the week's major stories into short, plain-English reads kids will actually enjoy — technology, science, sports, culture, history, math, and the world beyond their classroom.
- No pressure. 20–25 stories an issue, each under 150 words with a picture. About 15–20 minutes of reading, easy to finish over brunch or on the school bus.
- No politics. It's an ugly world for grown-ups. Kids don't need a front-row seat yet.
- No lecturing. No fashionable ideology pushed on young readers. We tell the story and let them do the thinking.
- No patronizing. We treat kids like grown-ups. No "a bear jumped out of the woods!" filler.
- No bias. Stories from the US and China alike, with no nation cast as the villain. Balanced perspectives, especially on technology.
- No fee. Tips are welcome, but there is no monthly subscription and no paywall.
- No boundary. Read it, print it, listen to it, or watch it: email, PDF, audio podcast, or YouTube.
