Peter Hinckley is the author of numerous books

for kids and families. He lives in California with his

wife and their family.

A B O U T T H E A RT I S T

Olga Zakharova (a.k.a., FaveteArt) is a self-taught

illustrator and letterer with two bachelor’s degrees

that have nothing to do with art. Olga was born

in Moscow, Russia, but moved to Latvia to find some peace and quiet. She now lives in an eco-

village in the forest with her husband. Surrounded

by nature on a daily basis, she finds inspiration in organic shapes and the perfect imperfections of

the world. Her style is a mix of playful forms and

cute characters drawn by hand and then digitized.

When she is not working on illustrations, she can

be found sleeping or being a doorwoman for her

cats.

Maybe

A M I N D F U L N E S S TA L E

Adapted from a Taoist Short Story

When a farmer’s horse runs away, his neighbors call it the worst of news. “Maybe,” says the wise farmer, in what will become the book’s refrain as more unexpected events come his way. This delightful tale teaches that what seems bad might be good; what seems good might be bad; and in the end, all are essential, helpful experiences in our personal journeys of growth. Filled with dreamy woodblock prints and vintage illustrations, Maybe is a breathtaking invitation to remember that mindful, nonjudgment of life’s highs and lows is a surer path to peace and wellbeing.

A dog rolling over onto his back can have multiple mean-ings. Rolling over generally means “I am not a threat.” If the tail is gently wagging and the mouth is slightly

open, the dog is probably comfortable and asking for a belly rub. If the tail is tucked and the lips are sti , however, the dog may be scared. Some dogs will solicit attention by rolling over, but then become fearful or defensive, feeling that this position is not safe. The dog may even panic and start snapping. Again, observe the whole dog, looking for comfortable, loose body lan-guage.

T H E P L A Y B O W

A play bow, as the name suggests, is a dog’s way of invit-ing another dog, animal, or human companion to play. It’s their way of letting you know that what they’re do-

ing is just fun and games. The play bow is an important part of the social interaction between dogs. When a dog meets another dog for the first time, he may use a play bow to let the other dog know his intentions are friendly. After this, dogs are likely to engage in play. Sometimes they’ll bow when one dog gets tired of playing but the other wants to keep going.

If you’re unsure whether dogs are playful or about to start a fight, look for play bows. If you see both dogs with their chests to the ground and rear ends in the air, chances are they’re playing.

Afghanistan | 39A hmad Shah DURRANI unified the Pashtun tribes and founded

Afghanistan in 1747. The country served as a buffer between the British and Russian Empires until it won independence from notional British control in 1919. A brief experiment in increased de-mocracy ended in a 1973 coup and a 1978 communist countercoup. The Soviet Union invaded in 1979 to support the tottering Afghan communist regime, touching off a long and destructive war. The USSR withdrew in 1989 under relentless pressure by internationally supported anti-communist mujahidin rebels. A series of subsequent civil wars saw Kabul finally fall in 1996 to the Taliban, a hardline Pakistani-sponsored movement that emerged in 1994 to end the country’s civil war and anarchy. Following the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks, a US, Allied, and anti-Taliban Northern Alliance military action toppled the Taliban for sheltering Usama BIN LADIN.

The Taliban remains a serious challenge for the Afghan Govern-ment in almost every province. The Taliban still considers itself the rightful government of Afghanistan, and it remains a capable and confident insurgent force fighting for the withdrawal of foreign military forces from Afghanistan, establishment of sharia law, and rewriting of the Afghan constitution.

NAME OR IG IN : the name “Af-ghan” originally referred to the Pashtun people (today it is under-stood to include all the country’s ethnic groups), while the suf-fix “-stan” means “place of” or “country”; so Afghanistan literally means the “Land of the Afghans”

CAP I TA L : Kabul

AREA : 652,230 sq km

POPULAT ION : 37,466,414 (July 2021 est.)

RE L IG IONS : Muslim 99.7% (Sunni 84.7 - 89.7%, Shia 10 - 15%), other 0.3% (2009 est.)

LANGUAGES : Afghan Persian or Dari (official) 77% (Dari func-tions as the lingua franca), Pashto (official) 48%, Uzbek 11%, English 6%, Turkmen 3%, Urdu 3%, Pa-

shayi 1%, Nuristani 1%, Arabic 1%, Balochi 1% (2017 est.)

CL IMATE : arid to semiarid; cold winters and hot summers

T ERRA IN : mostly rugged mountains; plains in north and southwest

NATURAL HA ZARDS : dam-aging earthquakes occur in Hindu Kush mountains; flooding; droughts

RESOURCES : natural gas, petroleum, coal, copper, chromite, talc, barites, sulfur, lead, zinc, iron ore, salt, precious and semi-precious stones, arable land

WHERE DO PEOP LE L I V E ? populations tend to cluster in the foothills and periphery of the rugged Hindu Kush range; small-er groups are found in many of the country’s interior valleys; in general, the east is more densely settled, while the south is sparsely populated

NAT IONAL HOL I DA Y : Inde-pendence Day, 19 August (1919)

NAT IONAL ANTHEM : “Milli Surood” (National Anthem)

A I R PORTS : 46

F LAG DESCR I P T ION : three equal vertical bands of black (hoist side), red, and green, with the national emblem in white cen-tered on the red band and slightly overlapping the other 2 bands; black signifies the past, red is for the blood shed for independence, and green can represent either hope for the future, agricultural prosperity, or Islam

Did you know? The Afghan flag has been changed more times than any other flag in

the world!

The SquirrelSquirrels are members of the family Sciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-size rodents. The squirrel family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, flying squirrels, and prairie dogs. The word “squirrel”, used as early as 1327, comes from the Ancient Greek word skiouros, meaning “shadow-tailed.” Squirrels are found throughout almost all of North America in both cities and rural locations.

Make Supercool Models with Your Favorite LEGO® PartsBy Jennifer Kemmeter

What sets this series apart?• Visually rich instruction books (not just ideas books) for LEGO® creations.

• Specifically targeted to children ages 5 and up, not to adults or hobbyists.

• Easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions take the guess work out of building.

• Money-saving, the series works with LEGO® sets, or common bricks kids probablyalready have at home.

• Gender neutral (much of the competition targets boys).

• “Dioramas” evoke imagination by creating an imaginary scene in which theirmodels can interact.
