When we announced our Child Cover Model
Contest, the flood of entries reminded us of something we’ve known for quite a
while: we live in a city of seriously cute kids. Our overall winner and cover kid (as decided by the judges) was Gemma; the readers’ choice winner (as determined by our online poll) was Tara. Grayson, Lillie and Katherine were the judges’ top picks in their age groups. We adore them all!
