Highlights for Children, often referred to simply as Highlights, is an American children's magazine. It began publication in June 1946, started by Garry Cleveland Myers and his wife Caroline Clark Myers in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, where the editorial office remains.[1] They both worked for another children's magazine, Children's Activities, for twelve years before leaving to start Highlights. The Highlights tagline is "Fun with a Purpose".
The company is now based in Columbus, Ohio,[2] and owns book publishers Zaner-Bloser. Its Boyds Mills Press division was sold to Kane Press in 2019.[3] Highlights has surpassed one billion magazine copies in 2006.
