In the spring, Little Rock Family held its first ever Cover Kid Contest — and now it's time to see the winner on our cover. 

We received nearly 200 entries and had our readers vote on 50 carefully selected finalists. Our winner was 4-year-old Cali Madkin!

After waiting patiently for several months, Cali got to be the star of our September cover.

Check it out below! And click here to see the full digital edition.

Thanks to everyone who submitted a photo and voted in our 2017 Cover Kid Contest! Be on the lookout in spring 2018 for our next Cover Kid Contest.
