On the launch of National Geographic Little Kids magazine, Managing Director Peter Johnson says, “Our mission is to educate people on the world’s social and environmental issues.  Empathy develops in children as early as 2 years old so teaching children to care for our planet and the natural world can’t start soon enough. With National Geographic Little Kids magazine, we’ll show them how to do this in a fun and entertaining way. We feel National Geographic Little Kids is something vitally needed and wanted in the market as parents look for ways to teach their children about our wonderful, diverse, natural world.”
