In March, Colorado Parent kicked off the 2019 Cover Kid search looking for fresh young faces to grace our covers in 2019 and 2020. We received more than 450 submissions of Colorado kids, and narrowed it down to four lucky winners—believe us, it wasn’t easy! Keep an eye out for these smiling faces on an upcoming cover of Colorado Parent.
