I recently had the pleasure of reviewing Natural Child World magazine.  They sent me two back issues and I saved them until the weekend when I could sit down and read them cover to cover without any interruption.

First, a little about Natural Child World Magazine as described on their site.

Green Steps Media was born with the ambition to inspire positive change in a new  generation of parents that today are facing educational but also ecological and social challenges.

The idea is to provide modern parents with a platform to learn, exchange and reflect over alternative choices and alternative ways to raise their children.

A PLACE WHERE CREATIVITY MEETS MODERN SUSTAINABILITY.

Design-driven and with a modern outlook at parenting today, NATURAL CHILD WORLD offers a window to the world of sustainability, its players, its benefits to a discerning audience that is willing to contribute without sacrifices and sacrificing.Unbiased and practical information that matter to parents.

NATURAL CHILD WORLD donates a percentage of all advertising profits to non-profit organizations that work to support the health and well being of disadvantaged children all over the world. Because every baby deserves a healthy start.

The two issues I recieved were:

May/June 2012 The Jack & Jill Issue

November/December 2012 The Happiness Issue

The first thing you notice about the magazine is the quality.  The glossy cover is thick and the pages within are of an equally good quality.  The pages will definitely hold up to reading after reading as it is the type of magazine that you will save the issues and go back to – not one that just gets tossed in the recycling bin after you’ve read it.  The photography is absolutely beautiful and it is very pleasing to just flip through the pages looking at the pictures.

Each issue has a theme – the Jack & Jill issue focuses on the two sides of everything - he vs. she and the Happiness issue focuses on whether happiness is a choice or destiny.  The themes are then carried through the sections that are in each magazine:  design, fashion, lifestyle, well being, second thoughts, spotlight, wellness for life, resources and other sections unique for the particular theme.

The articles are interesting, relevant and informative.  The advertising throughout the magazine is tasteful and is in keeping with the magazine’s mission.  It blends in so well that you almost don’t realize that it is an advertisement.  It was definitely a magazine that was a pleasure to read from cover to cover.
