Description
Starting something new is always filled with mixed emotions. New can be exciting, but it can also be scary; like starting a new grade, or even starting at a new school. Newness can even be as simple as starting a new day or trying a new ice-cream flavour! Sometimes we need to let go of the familiar and comfortable, and journey into the unknown. This issue of Supernova kicks off the start of our new volume (Vol 11!), and it comes with a lot of change and newness.
While that can be scary and intimidating, it is also a chance for fresh and exciting things – challenges, opportunities and of course a chance to grow and become better! While Supernova is already pretty awesome, our team of creatives constantly strive to make every issue bigger, better and more exciting – just for you. To each and every reader who enjoys an issue of Supernova, and who continues to support our dreams, thank you! We hope you love this new volume just as much as we do.
Stay curious, kids!
