Watch Wowsabout, a brand-new preschool special created by Halle Stanford, Emmy® Award-winning executive producer and Dorien Davies, executive producer, writer, and principal puppeteer.The story follows an unlikely pair: Ronald, a careful, rule-following young pig determined to become a junior ranger, and Roxy, a musical, free-spirited hedgehog searching for the park's 'magical giants.'
Filmed on location in breathtaking Sequoia National Park, their adventure unfolds through music, art, humor, and the beauty of the natural world.
Developed in consultation with Dacher Keltner, Ph.D., Founding Director of UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, and Vicki Zakrzewski, Ph.D., the Center's Education Director, the special invites children and the adults in their lives not just to watch awe – but to feel it, recognize it, and name it for themselves.
Here's what you can look forward to:
• A screening of Wowsabout alongside parents and educators from around the world
• A conversation with co-creators Halle Stanford and Dorien Davies about bringing the characters and their world to life
• Insights into the science of awe from Dacher Keltner, Ph.D., Founding Director of UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center and author of Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life
• Practical ideas for bringing awe into the classroom and beyond from Vicki Zakrzewski, Ph.D., and tips for fostering awe at home from Maryam Abdullah, Ph.D., Parenting Program Director at the Greater Good Science Center
At a time when many children are navigating stress, distraction, and disconnection, cultivating awe may be one of the simplest and most powerful tools we have to help them reconnect—to themselves, to one another, and to the world around them.
Join us and experience how the science of awe can come alive for children and adults alike.
