What's the Story?
TAMIR ON THE STREET follows Tamir, an 8-year-old Black boy, as he creates his own YouTube-style show where he learns more about the diverse friends and neighbors in his community by asking big questions.
Is It Any Good?
It's no surprise Sesame Street has once again hit it out of the park with this latest offering in its ongoing campaign to give children of all backgrounds a sense of belonging. Tamir on the Street provides bite-sized episodes perfectly constructed to deliver its message of inclusive communities anytime and anywhere. The show's host, Tamir, cleverly plays into children's natural inclination to ask a lot of questions to address their feelings on ethnicity and heritage. The overall tone is playful and welcoming and the message is one all kids need to hear more often.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
