520    "Every year, tens of thousands of children write to 
       Highlights magazine, sharing their hopes and dreams, 
       worries and concerns, as if they were writing to a trusted
       friend. From the beginning, the editors at Highlights have
       answered every child individually. Longtime editor in 
       chief Christine French Cully has curated a collection of 
       this remarkable correspondence (letters, emails, drawings,
       and poems) in Dear Highlights-revealing an intimate and 
       inspiring 75-year conversation between America's children 
       and its leading children's magazine. From the timeless, 
       everyday concerns of friendship, family, and school, to 
       the deeper issues of identity, sexuality, divorce, and 
       grief, here is a unique time capsule of American childhood
       in the voices-and the very handwriting-of children 
       themselves. The book captures a child's-eye view of some 
       of the most important events of the past 75 years: the 
       COVID-19 pandemic, 9/11, the Challenger Disaster, and the 
       assassination of John F. Kennedy. Cully's insightful 
       narrative becomes a call to action for adults to lean in 
       and listen to children, to make sure our kids know that 
       they matter and what they think matters, and to assure 
       them that they have the power to become people who change 
       the world." --Publisher.
