Sesame Street Gets Through A Storm Previous Broadcasts

KQED 9: Fri, Nov 9, 2012 -- 11:00 AM

A hurricane has swept through Sesame Street and everyone is working together to clean up the neighborhood. When Big Bird checks on his home, he is heartbroken to find that the storm has destroyed his nest. Big Bird's friends and neighbors gather to show their support and let him know they can fix his home, but it will take time. While everyone on Sesame Street spends the next few days cleaning up and making repairs, Big Bird still has moments where he is sad, angry and confused. His friends help him cope with his emotions by talking about what happened, drawing pictures together and giving him lots of hugs. They also comfort Big Bird by offering him temporary places he can eat, sleep and play. Big Bird remembers all the good times he had at his nest and realizes that once it is rebuilt, there are more good times and memories to come. Finally the day has come when most of the repairs to Big Bird's home are done and his nest is complete. As he is about to try it out, though, the city nest inspector says it not safe yet, because the mud isn't dry. Big Bird is sad that he has to wait another day, but Snuffy comes to the rescue and blows the nest dry and he passes the test! Big Bird thanks everyone for being his friend and helping to rebuild his nest and his home.
