Launched in October 2013, Chickadee is Animal Liberation Qld’s very own glossy lifestyle and fashion magazine for girls. Written for 'tweens’ and young teenagers, the magazine promotes awareness of sentience in animals, and helps inform young consumers of ways in which they can make compassionate choices for animals every day.

In February 2015, we also released an accompanying comprehension booklet to be used by schools.
