Description

This episode is the third in our series Imagine Equity: Six New Stories About Race, Identity, and Making Things Right. Today, The Imagine Neighborhood™ gets a surprise visitor from Alakazambra’s past! The young wizard Preston Changeo arrives, played by our very special guest star Tom Lenk, ready to learn all of Alakazambra’s tricks and spells for battling monsters . . . and is upset to learn that Alakazambra and her old nemesis Count Vacula are now good friends. Preston doesn’t think that wizards and monsters are allowed to be friends. But when he accidentally summons a messy rainbow sherbet monster, everyone has to work together to solve the problem. It turns out that having friends and neighbors with all kinds of different identities is not only fun, it helps you learn new skills and be a better friend. Welcoming new wizards and monsters (and even people) into your neighborhood can help you, your new neighbors, and your whole community. If you want even more of The Imagine Neighborhood, sign up for our newsletter. Each week, you’ll get additional discussion questions and activity ideas for kids and grown-ups. Keep sharing your ideas, drawings, and creations with us—we love seeing what you come up with, and you might see it featured on our Infinite Refrigerator! Grown-ups, if you want to learn more about our special guest star Tom Lenk, you can find more info here. This show is supported by a generous grant from The Allstate Foundation.
