Big Bird and Elmo are teaming up with CNN for a special town hall about coronavirus for children and their parents.
“Sesame Street” characters will join CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta and CNN anchor Erica Hill for “The ABC’s of COVID-19: A CNN/Sesame Street Town Hall for Kids and Parents” to answer questions submitted by families about COVID-19.
The event will last 90 minutes and will address topics like education, anxiety, screen time and playdates, according to CNN.
Families can submit questions to be answered during the town hall by filling out a form from CNN, which can be found here.
“The ABC’s of COVID-19” will air on April 25 at 9 a.m. ET on CNN and will also be available to stream live on CNN.com and CNN’s mobile apps. It will also be available on-demand to subscribers through cable/satellite systems, CNNgo, and CNN’s mobile apps.
“Sesame Street” has put together a variety of free resources for families during the coronavirus pandemic, including videos, ebooks, and games for children, as well as resources for parents on how to talk to their kids about the changes they’re experiencing.
