Kids can sing along with Daniel and work together to solve problems.

“This exhibit is going to be a wonderful addition to the museum this summer,” says Henry Schulson, CDM executive director .“The themes of understanding, kindness, sharing and acceptance throughout the exhibit align perfectly with our vision of making our community the best place for a child to grow up.”
