Last Week: Graphic Novels
The Kids Crew explores graphic novels. These modern day comic books can help kids become better readers, while keeping them engaged and learning. Dr. Lee Francis IV has a publishing house featuring graphic novels for all ages written by Native authors and illustrators. We also meet a science illustrator whose books help kids understand complex scientific topics. Plus we have book reviews!
This Week: Bears
Meet Dr. Lynn Rogers, a renowned biologist often called the “Jane Goodall of bears.” The founder of the North American Bear Center, Dr. Rogers has dedicated his career to studying black bears and shares surprising insights into bear behavior and ecology. You’ll learn how bears communicate, what they like to eat, and why they’re not as scary as we might think.
Next Week: Folktales
This time on The Children’s Hour, we will hear traditional stories that have been passed down through the generations, which we call Folktales. From a live performance of La Llorona, to some classic folktales we love, like Abiyoyo, and storytelling songs, we dedicate the hour to our imaginations through storytelling and music.
