A quick note before we begin today's episode: This is going to be our last episode of Morning Kids for quite some time. 

We will keep working hard to see if there is a way that Morning Kids will be able to come back, but for now I must say goodbye. 

Thank you for all of your wonderful emails and messages, your great suggestions for things to learn about and of course for joining me each day. And remember, even if I don’t tell you each morning, to be silly, honest and kind.
