J.J. Meets Big Bird

The other day J.J.'s dad came to visit.  Here they are.....taking their photo with Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Grover and the gang.



Why is J.J. on Sesame Street?  Because Sesame Street recently created a new character named Alex who talks about the stigma of having a parent in jail.  Along with this new character, they have a tool kit for families to use to help their children coping with a parent incarcerated.  

A few weeks ago, J.J.'s friend The Rabbi experience first-hand how D.O.C. used the Sesame Street program to engage with families.  Stay tuned for his story next week!

Today, enjoy this gangster hangin' with his dad and Big Bird....in his new Reeboks!
