From the creators of the award-winning podcast Out There comes Once Upon a Meadow. Launching February 7, this innovative program for 4- to 9-year-olds features fictional tales about a community of animals and plants who work together to flourish, despite their differences.
“In today’s fractious times, we need uplifting stories that help children learn to compromise and treat others with respect,” said Jeff Lockwood, an ecologist and the writer-narrator of the stories.
In the tradition of Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf,” each story includes original music by internationally acclaimed composer and pianist Nadav Amir-Himmel. Willow Belden, a former public radio journalist, host of Out There, and producer of Once Upon a Meadow, says the team sought to model the world they hope to create. “For example, Rabbit is nonbinary but doesn’t face discrimination,” Belden said. “In fact, we don’t draw attention to Rabbit’s gender at all.
