This
Valentine’s Day, multi-Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum pop artist Jason
Mraz brings his signature sound to the hit television series for
preschoolers, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood! “You Are Special,” an
all-new episode of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood premieres nationally on
PBS KIDS, Thursday, February 14 (check local listings).
Children’s
television visionary Fred Rogers has long been an inspiration to Mraz, who even
performs the theme from the beloved Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood at some
of his concerts. Now, with the upcoming special episode of Daniel
Tiger’s Neighborhood, Mraz will help bring Rogers’ timely message of love
and acceptance to a new generation of preschoolers and families
nationwide! The world-renowned musician has recorded the opening and
closing tunes – “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” and “It’s Such a
Good Feeling” – classic songs penned and originally performed by Rogers
himself. The (very lovable!) episode also features a sweet strategy for
young viewers, one that was near and dear to Rogers’ own heart: “I like you
just the way you are.”
We invite
you to share the love and celebrate the important message of this
extra-adorable show with the little ones in your life via these fun tips
inspired by Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and the new episode, “You Are
Special”:
·
Make a Valentine! Help your child create a very special
Valentine for a very special someone who is important to them. It can be
a relative, teacher, friend - or another “neighbor” who they care about.
Be sure to include what makes that person so wonderful!
·
Sing a Song! Daniel Tiger loves to sing
songs! Have your child write their own lyrics to the classic “You are
Special” tune and invite them to sing it to an extra-special friend or relative
