@bethanyshondark 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.
