Last Week: Forests

Forests are full of life, stories, and connections we cannot always see. In this episode of The Children’s Hour, the Kids Crew learns how forests help keep our planet healthy, how trees communicate, and why old growth forests matter. With songs, questions from kids, and a scientist who studies trees and fungi, this show explores what makes a forest more than just a group of trees.

This Week: Storytime With Joe Hayes

Beloved Southwestern storyteller Joe Hayes joins the Kids Crew at Outpost to tell stories that reflect the multiculturalism of the United States, and the universal messages that are in folk tales. Joe Hayes is also an author of more than 100 books for kids and adults, and will entertain us with his original take on traditional tales. Get ready for storytime on The Children’s Hour!

Next Week: Do Something

What they we do when they see someone being treated unfairly? The Kids Crew talks with trainers from Right To Be, an organization that teaches people how to respond to harassment in safe and thoughtful ways. Through clear examples, simple exercises, and music about empathy and courage, kids learn the Five Ds of bystander intervention and discover that even small actions can help others feel supported and less alone.
