Greetings from Root & Star!
Root & Star is a beautiful, ad-free magazine for children. We bridge the gap between quality children’s books and the ephemeral magazine form, showcasing contemporary artists, fresh poems, funny comics, and nature-based wonderings. We hope that when you reach the end of the magazine, you feel more peace and joy, and a deeper connection to your ROOTS and to your STARS.
The idea for Root & Star magazine started when my young daughter raced into my studio squealing because she got junk-mail with her name on it. Laughing, I realized that I could gather enough artists and creative people to curate a thoughtful, intentionally made magazine that we could mail to children and their caregivers. Sometimes the most exciting moment of the day is when the mail comes! We strive to make a beautiful magazine that cultivates emotional intelligence, with content that inspires—and is inspired by—the sacred space of childhood.

SouleMama: Since the last time you were featured on SouleMama, in what ways has your business grown or changed? Is there anything new you'd like to tell us about?
Courtney: We believe that in this world we can raise children who are authentic, creative, and emotionally aware, and Root & Star is a magazine that models that authenticity, creativity, and emotional intelligence. We are lucky that we get to make something that we believe in, and that we get to collaborate with great minds and hearts all over the world. We are lucky that each day we can push for beauty and experimentation, and that we can challenge ourselves to approach each page as a work of art.
Since we were last featured, we have a renewed appreciation for the readers who share with us their stories. We recently heard from a father who said his daughter always has our magazine with her in the car, and it has become an indelible part of her childhood—and it has helped to shape his fatherhood, too. Another reader shared that they received the magazine as a gift from their grandmother, and each time it comes in the mail, they think of her and feel like they are reading the magazine with her. As an ad-free magazine, we feel so grateful for our readers, who give us the freedom to share real, wild art with all our heart.
This weekend, Root & Star is generously offering the following gift to ONE lucky SouleMama reader:
a subscription [six issues for one year] to a lucky family!
