1. Sunny Days
The Children's Television Revolution That Changed America
A lively history of the children’s television revolution from the late 1960s through the 1970s, following the educators, producers, and performers behind Sesame Street, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, The Electric Company, Schoolhouse Rock!, and Zoom as they used research-based methods and public broadcasting to teach, uplift, and reflect a diverse America. Blending behind-the-scenes anecdotes with the era’s political and cultural battles—funding fights, anti-commercial ideals, representation, and tensions with ad-driven Saturday-morning cartoons—it shows how these programs transformed kids’ media and left a lasting legacy.
