Sesame in Communities

Rosita’s papi is coming home from the hospital, and her family celebrates by singing together and eating Mami’s homemade cake.

When Rosita’s tummy feels funny because her papi is still in the hospital, Mami helps her notice that she’s feeling worried, and they get busy writing love notes for Papi’s return.

Rosita is frustrated because she can’t join her friends at the movies. Mami reminds Rosita that on cloudy-feeling days, we can talk about our feelings.
