We're excited to share that we had the chance to create graphics and animation for the PBS KIDS "Talk About" series, where real families discuss real issues. These episodes cover a wide range of topics, like: Friendship, Family, COVID,Feeling Scared, Losing a Pet, Big Changes in Life.
We're really proud of our contribution to this awesome series. It helps bring some lightness to life's tougher moments and gives parents a way to have meaningful conversations with their kids.
A big thank you to the whole PBS creative team for making this such a fun and rewarding project.
You can catch the episodes on PBS KIDS stations, the video app, their YouTube channel, and pbskids.org!
