Sun 12 Jan 2020

Amazing Things Happen uses simple language, appealing kid characters and a delightful professor-type narrator to engage elementary school-aged audiences. It starts by celebrating ways in which we’re visibly different from one another, then examines how we’re different in ways we can’t detect from the outside. Run time: 5 min. 30 sec.
