Parents Corner

Aug. 8, 2025: A Note from Hope, publisher, Inkandescent Kids magazine

Dear Parents and Grandparents: We all want the best for our kids! In creating this online magazine, my goal is to help them share this insights, ideas, and vision of the world they live in — and the one they are inheriting.

I also want you to give you a place to do the same! In this section, I invite you to share your thoughts and connect with each other.

My family is part of this project: Anna, who specializes in weddings, family photos, and events, is our director of video, AnnaGibbs.com. Dylan, an architect who graduated in May 2025 from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, will be guiding us on the design front. Their dad, award-winning illustrator Michael Gibbs, is our art director.

I truly believe it takes a village to raise healthy, balanced, positive kids. And I think it’s our job to show them the way — by thinking critically, using their creativity, and supporting their ideas. Guidance is key. And together we can help them create a future that is sustainable and filled with love, grace, patience, and honor.

Please reach out to me with your essays and questions via email. 

With love, Hope
