Garry Cleveland Myers and Caroline Clark Myers created Highlights™, a monthly magazine for children ages 6 to 12. They filled it with stories, adventures, brainteasers, and, of course, our beloved Hidden Pictures® puzzles. It reflected the Myerses’ philosophy that children become their “best selves” by using their creativity and imagination; developing their reading, thinking, and reasoning skills; and learning to treat others with respect, kindness, and sensitivity.
Since then, the Highlights brand has grown to a diverse and inclusive family of products for kids from birth to 12. Beyond Highlights Hello™, High Five™, High Five Bilingue™, and Highlights magazines, our brand of wholesome fun extends to games, websites, mobile apps, and the book clubs Let’s Grow™, LET'S PLAY Hidden Pictures, EAGLE-EYE Hidden Pictures, Mathmania™, Puzzlemania®, Puzzle Buzz™ , Top Secret Adventures™ and Which Way USA™. Highlights not only reaches across multiple platforms, it also spans the globe: Highlights International's products are now available in 40 countries and in 16 languages.
With our flagship magazine's success, Highlights for Children, Inc., expanded to include other companies. From our trade-book group, Boyds Mills Press, and retail division, Highlights Press, to our education group, Zaner Bloser Inc., including textbook publishers, Stenhouse Publishers, and seminars for teachers at Staff Development for Educators, all our businesses make a significant contribution to the education of children.
