A story of boldly going where no one had gone before! Nichelle Nichol’s role as Lieutenant Uhura in the original Star Trek series was groundbreaking. Civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. praised her work for defying stereotypes and revolutionizing portrayals of Black individuals on television. Her influence and advocacy for more diversity at NASA sparked new interest in space travel and helped to recruit brilliant STEM talents like Dr. Sally Ride, Colonel Guion Bluford, and Mae Jemison.
From swashbuckling swordplay to good deed doing, our Folktale Forest friends are having a rousting adventure as the “Three Hedgeketeers.” But what started out as a rollicking good time by the lake has turned into a sinister soaking splash fight! Will hot tempers ruin the fun? Or will their "all for one, and one for all" oath to each other ultimately save the day?
The game's afoot again, but this time the great squirrel detective, Sherlock Nettlesbee, is feeling too frantic to solve an important mystery. His trusty companion, John Wabbitson, is missing! Presuming the worst, Sherlock is convinced that it’s the fiendish work of the evil Moray-eel-arty. Can he remain calm and follow the clues to the right conclusion? Or will worry slither him into his scariest thoughts?

Ride along as they enjoy many sights and meet great citizen critters while dutifully delivering the mail throughout Mythdom, Litropia, the Typographic Islands and beyond.
One morning, Taylor the hen, did something amazing! When the giants hear about her daring feat, they decide to throw the biggest bash ever to introduce her to her new neighborhood. Taylor fears she’ll make a fool of herself at the party, and that no one will like her. To prove to herself that she's worthy, she puts herself through three terrifying trials. Will her nerves get the best of her, or will she be brave enough to boogie into unbelievable friendships?
A story that will open your eyes to scientific imagination! Dr. Patricia Bath was an ophthalmologist, inventor, and humanitarian who was dedicated to bettering the lives of others. She began in her teens by making an important discovery about the relationship between cancer, nutrition, and stress. Eye health became her priority as a doctor and she made sure care was accessible for those in underserved communities. Dr. Bath’s life was filled with achievements, including becoming the first Black female doctor to receive a patent. Her invention, a laser device to treat a common eye condition, restored the sight of many who had been blind for more than 30 years!
