The show is based on two children’s books by the Emmy Award-winning author, illustrator, and playwright, with music by Grammy-nominated composer Carlos Simon.

Slopera! shares the story of Elephant and Piggie, two best friends who learn to appreciate one another’s differences.

And Don’t Let the Pigeon Sing Up Late!, starring The Pigeon and some delightful new companions, recounts The Pigeon’s losing battle against bedtime.
