"Sesame Street" is helping children affected by conflicts in Middle Eastern countries with new Muppet friends.
"Ahlan Simsim's premiere season will help millions of children across the region learn how to identify and manage big feelings—skills that form a crucial developmental foundation for young children, especially those who have experienced the trauma of war and displacement," said Sherrie Westin, president of social impact and philanthropy at Sesame Workshop.
Basma is an adventurous, purple Muppet, around 6 years old who loves to sing and dance. She has a special talent creating music and sound effects. Her favorite phrase is,"Yalla!" which means"Let’s go!" in Arabic.
