Sesame Street Responds to Hurricane Katrina

Sesame Street has made a huge effort to help families and children deal with the fear and stress kids may feel about Hurricane Katrina. The week of September 12, Sesame Street will re-air Sesame Street’s hurricane series. Sesame Street has also released "Friends to the Rescue," a new video and DVD by Sesame Workshop and Sony Wonder in which familiar friends on Sesame Street must use teamwork to rebuild their homes and cope with their own emotions after a hurricane hits the neighborhood. Sesame Street's website also contains additional resources for parents to help children deal with fears about natural disasters.
