Carl the Collector
Carl is a thoughtful raccoon with autism, whose unique collections and tight-knit group of friends help him explore his world and navigate everyday challenges. This relatable PBS series, created by author-illustrator Zachariah OHora and neurodiverse artists and performers, offers authentic social-emotional learning that will resonate with all young viewers.
“The committee was impressed with the show’s refreshing celebration of our differences and commonalities through an intentional neurodiverse lens,” said Excellence in Early Learning Digital Media Award Committee Co-Chair Emily Haage.
