West Valley, Arizona
From The Editor...
"Shortly after moving to the West Valley four years ago, I realized what a quaint and charming "little" area it was. Since then we have grown into our own and have much to offer. So much in fact, I found a desire to bring a family focused publication to my community. Something resourceful, just for us, that we can take pride in. This is very much an interactive magazine. I highly encourage families to submit articles, tidbits, events and stories that touch their hearts. This is a publication for our readers, about our readers. If you don't get this publication, subscribe today, or stop by one of our distributors to pick up your copy. You'll love it!"

While educators, analysts and business people may debate the various reasons behind the periodical's success, all the children know is that they like it.
Highlights is dedicated to helping children grow in basic skills and knowledge, in creativeness, in ability to think and reason, in sensitivity to others, in high ideals and worthy ways of living -- for children are the world's most important people.
