Sometimes, to escape life is to dive right into it — let go of your phone, feel the wider world drift away, and see what's right near you. The stretching sky, the amber leaves crunching underfoot, the trees shivering and bare, the hand of a friend. Connect by disconnecting. Today is for brimming silence. Today is for brimming conversation. This is "Escapade."

"Do you see the rocks over there?" It looks like a nice spot to sit. But not for long, we have places to explore. There's a whole world right here, don't you see it? It's right through the blue wrought-iron fence. This issue is called "To Be Human," and in her story, Claire Désérable captures a day that is fleeting, yet lasts in the boys' memories.

Take in the full 18-page story beyond this teaser. Our brand new Autumn Winter 2025 issue, "To Be Human" is available to buy online.
