Dear Claribel,
Thank you for writing in! I’m so happy to hear that you are enjoying your copies of Honest History and learning about history. There is so much we can learn from the past because it helps us realize our mistakes and helps us make better decisions for our future. Keep up the good work and thanks for the suggestion to cover WWI.

Dear Scarlett,
I’m so happy you requested we cover ancient Egypt. I have good news—we have an issue on that very topic! Issue 26 | Gift of the Nile will teach you all about ancient Egypt, mummies, and the Nile. Be sure to check it out and let me know what you think.
P.S. While mummies weren’t wrapped in toilet paper, it is fun to use toilet paper to wrap yourself up like one!

Dear Elias,
Thanks for writing in and for the great suggestions! While we do have an issue about the space race (Issue 5 | Race to Space), an issue dedicated to rockets and the Moon would be fascinating! We hope you enjoy this next issue of the magazine and keep writing in with those suggestions! I love learning what our readers are interested in.

Dear Ayana,
I love the suggestions on ballet! We covered ballet briefly in Issue 14 | A Russian Winter, and I’ve always wanted to go back and revisit the topic. Ballet has such a rich history when it comes to dance, music, costuming, and performance, so I think this is a great suggestion!
Thanks for writing in and I hope you enjoy the next issue of Honest History. Happy reading!
Young Historians! Do you have questions about our kids magazine? Is there a topic you want us to cover? Please send us a note (or drawing). It might appear on our next installment of We've Got Mail.
