Sesame Workshop’s Books, Music, and Movies of the Month
As always, Sesame Workshop has great things to share at the end of the month!
This May, in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we offer emotional well-being books plus other engaging new books and a sing-along playlist. Browse our monthly list of favorites designed to bring playful learning and cultural appreciation into your day.
We All Belong (A Story About Neighbor Day)
It’s Neighbor Day! Sesame Street’s newest resident, Ji-Young, is excited to celebrate with her new community — and to share some of her Korean culture. This important book is inspired by the See Us Coming Together special, and it illustrates how hurtful racism is while encouraging kindness toward Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders — and all people!
Celebrating You and Me Series
On Sesame Street, we celebrate everyone! In this series, readers will explore the different ways we eat, dress, play, and more. Recognizing our similarities and differences will teach little ones to be proud of themselves and appreciate others in their lives.

Goodnight, World! Season 2 Launch (Streaming Podcast)
With a whole world to explore, it’s no surprise that winding down can be a challenge for curious little ones. In Goodnight, World!, a new sleepcast for children from Headspace Studios and Sesame Street, listeners can join Alan, Nina, and friends from Sesame Street on amazing adventures in their imaginations. Along the way, they’ll learn how to calm down their minds and bodies to help them get ready for quiet moments and bedtime.
Meet Sesame Street Mecha Builders, where Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Abby Cadabby are robot heroes-in-training, and content focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) becomes even more fun with loveable Grover, Rosita, and friends.
There’s no problem too big or too small for this STEM super team to solve!
