Folktales
This time on The Children’s Hour, we will hear traditional stories that have been passed down through the generations, which we call Folktales. From a live performance of La Llorona, to some classic folktales we love, like Pete Seeger's Abiyoyo, and other storytelling songs, we dedicate the hour to our imaginations through storytelling and music.

Grateful For Grandparents
This week on The Children's Hour, it's the season of gratitude, and we're grateful for some of the most important people in our lives: our grandparents. The Kids have messages and stories to share for and about their own grandparents. We'll also hear kids from Jimmy Carter Middle School in Albuquerque, NM telling stories about grandparent love and magic in action.
