THE SESAME WORKSHOP
The program is committing to supporting children in foster care – and introduced a Karli, a Muppet who lives with her “for-now” parents, Dalia and Clem. In a video titled “You Belong,” Karli attends a pizza party with Elmo in her new foster home and worries she doesn’t have a “place at the table” where she belongs. “Sometimes, even mommies and daddies need some help taking care of their children,” Dalia says, explaining the role of foster parents to Elmo. The initiative is part of the show’s Sesame Street in Communities program, which provides resources for parents, teachers and other caregivers on a range of topics.
