I think this is pretty cool! Look out, "Dora the Explorer." Here comes "Ni Hao, Kai-lan!" This is a new cartoon created by Nickelodeon that is set to begin in the fall of 2007. In an October 2006 interview, Nickelodeon spokesperson Cyma Zarghami commented, "Then there is Ni Hao Kai-Lan for preschoolers, which is a show about a Chinese girl. It’s creatively inspired and it celebrates Chinese culture, but will probably have a broad appeal, mostly because of how fresh it looks." I'm really excited to have Hannah be able to see programming for children that embraces Chinese culture. I'm even more excited to know that she'll grow up with a generation of kids that has also watched the show. Here's a link to some short Ni Hao, Kai-lan videos.
Hey, Sarah -
ReplyDeleteOff topic, but I couldn't find your email address. This is Tammy (Kaylee's Mama). You had asked where we got the children's chopsticks. I got them at a local store - Weecycle, but I also found them online at various prices Combi Chopsticks. Her e is one site for $6.99 http://www.highchairs.com/Combi-Chop-Sticks.pro
