At Highlights, our core belief is that children are the world's most important people. In light of the reports of the living conditions of detained children & threats of further deportation & family separation, here is a statement from our CEO Kent Johnson. #KeepFamiliesTogether

We want our readers to see themselves and their experiences in our magazines, so we've included masks and acknowledgements of the pandemic to help support kids. As one child wrote to us, “Kids need to know that they are not alone.” Like you, we hope that this will be over soon.

We're sad to hear that Koko the gorilla has passed away. Koko was a fan of Highlights for almost 30yrs and she was one of our longest subscribers! ❤️ She knew the signs for more than 1,000 words and she often used pictures from Highlights and High Five to help her communicate.

The response to the statement we posted in support of immigrant children in U.S. custody was overwhelmingly positive. We are heartened, but as the threat of more family separation looms, we hope we all can keep the children’s plight central in the national conversation.

The future belongs to kids, they are watching & listening. Let them hear us speak up when we see injustice. Let them see us stand up against racism & hate. Let’s help our kids see that we can make the world more just. Together we must create a better, brighter future for all.

Highlights magazines & products are more than entertainment. We create content to help kids understand what they’re seeing in the world around them. You may have noticed masks in recent issues of Highlights & High Five. It’s important to share how we arrived at this decision.
