Description

In "Moving Time," three kids with significant experience moving from country to country and home to home — Aurelia, Cris, and Henry — join host Todd Loyd to discuss their moves and to share some of the feelings they had before, during, and after moving. The kids and Todd then go on a journey to the Land of Qook-a-lackas to help a Qook-a-lacka friend, Kahmar, who's worried about how their Qook-a-leekies will cope with a big upcoming move. The role of Kahmar is played by Amir Arison, an American actor, director, and producer, best known for his work as FBI tech expert Aram Mojtabai on NBC's The Blacklist for ten seasons. Last year, Amir starred in The Kite Runner on Broadway. The role of the Qook-a-lacka Song Healer, Quasnick, is played by Benjamin Weiner, a composer and educator. The original song in the episode, "A Little Bit Better," was created (live!) by Benjamin with help from the three kid guests (Aurelia, Cris, and Henry), plus Amir. The ukulele music in the episode is written and performed by Bill English. Bill is an actor, musician, and voiceover artist based in NYC.Find extras and educator resources at playsparkler.org/podcast.

Little Kids, Big Hearts helps kids and their grown-ups grow social and emotional skills, a.k.a. Big Hearts, with a little help from the show's host, Todd Loyd, a longtime early childhood educator. It’s a space where kids LEAD the discussion and explore big ideas in SEL — from feelings to friendship to helping others — together. If you like using your imagination, hanging out with puppets, going on mindfulness journeys to magical worlds, and eating gummy bears that grow on trees, then you're in the right place! Recommended for big-hearted kids ages 3-8 (and their grown-ups).
