ELIZABETH BIRCH Executive Director, Human Rights Campaign The amazing thing is the way kids love watching things over and over. At first we were cautious about dumbing them down, but they love the comfort of repetition. Franklin has been my favorite for our two-year-old twins. Franklin is a little boy turtle, but there are strong, independent girl charactersall animals. I like how Franklin teaches lessons. There s one where Franklin is afraid to sleep in his shell because its dark, so he talks about it with different characters. Owl tells him he's afraid to fly, so sometimes he wears a parachute. And Bear is secretly scared of being cold, so he wears a big parka. In the end, Franklin crawls in his shell and turns on a little night-light. |
