Our friends in San Diego alerted us about a great magazine mainly for children of Czech compatriots living abroad. It was created on the basis of interest in helping with the learning of the Czech language and its further development. On their pages children learn about Czech culture, traditions, realities and Czech personalities. Check it out!
