The Cow Wall® Presents: Cows & Curds
Volume 1 / International 2024

This is an updated record of an interactive educational display first presented in 2020 at New Seasons in Vancouver, Washington, USA. This informational display of a pseudo-magazine spread showing various cattle breeds and the cheese made from their milk was for education only; it was not created to "sell" cattle or cheese. Flags and maps were included to increase the display’s educational value. Copies of the breed name tags with QR codes that were interspersed in the display (to retrieve further information about cattle breeds from the Kranky Kids website) were included but are no longer active. You can see the entire display here.

Grimmly Speaking: Rumpelstiltskin

Rumpelstiltskin has a bad reputation mainly for having a bad attitude. He strikes several deals and makes a wager. His reaction at the story's conclusion can only be summed up as, well, poor sportsmanship?

The Grimmly Speaking® series was created in 1998 by Kranky Kids® for use in after-school programs. It is based on the tales collected by the Brothers Grimm. Some people take a free and loose hand when writing drama scripts of these tales. Kranky Kids does not. Yes, a poke of humor now and then – but these scripts stick to the sequence of events found in the original Grimm versions. (All Kranky Kids digital scripts are designed specifically for use on mobile devices making them easier to follow and act out with friends.)

You Disgust Me
A Collection of Poems

A lot of us write poems during our transition from late teens into our early twenties. This time in a person's life is usually peppered with multiple episodes of heightened emotions due to our changing biology and young adult experiences – so we write. Are they good poems? Bad? Most of us throw them away. L. De Voss did not. Maybe you'll see some of your past feelings in these poems: anger, confusion, self-pity, self-drama, youthful observation, a desire to make sense of what's happening without admitting to being flummoxed by the behavior of others, and so on. Maybe you didn't throw your poems away. If not, this collection of poems will inspire you to find them and give your own past thoughts another read. If you are presently living this age-specific transition, read these poems. They might help.
