Snacks and Wiggles are on a journey, snacking and dancing through their day to understand where they came from and why they are different from some of their friends. From Mommy's northern Maine woods to Daddy's Jamaican beaches, they will explore what it means to be from two different cultures. They will learn what sets them apart but also how their differences are exactly what make them special. Key learning points include: Many feelings are associated with figuring out your identity There are many ways to be a family It's important to understand differences The color of your skin does not define you Kindness is what unites us all We are all the same on the inside Each parent brings something unique to your identity and culture No matter what you look like, you are loved for who you are "As part of a mixed couple, we often receive stares, and my children get questions.
