ON THE COVER Peter, Grace and Nehemiah are the winners of our 2026 Cover Kids Search in the sibling category (Grace did not take part in the photoshoot). Peter is 10 years old and in fifth grade. Grace is 7 years old and in first grade. Nehemiah is 4 years old. Big brother Peter has a knack for art and engineering, especially when he’s folding intricate paper airplanes or sketching his favorite Marvel and Godzilla characters. Grace loves playing kitchen, dressing up her dolls and stuffies, and twirling around like the ballerinas she admires from the movie Leap! . Little brother Nehemiah is the family’s joyful helper, cooking and cleaning alongside Mom and Dad and giggling during his speech therapy sessions with his teachers, Serena and Shelly.
