People: A Musical Celebration

This animated special shows people how we humans are very much alike, despite the fact that they may fight sometimes. A girl named Cara, who has divorced parents, goes to New York to live with her grandfather. She learns from her grandfather that differences are all part of what makes people who they are. Some people live in one country, some live in another country. Some people eat one kind of food, some eat other food. People have different cultures and ethnicities and beliefs, but it's all part of what makes our world just what it is. Cara also thinks that that if all people were the same, there'd be no fighting.

I like the songs heard throughout the special because they illustrate how the different people around the world live out their customs . And the Aboriginal story told by James Earl Jones gives the example of how even if we do have a fight, we can still share the same land. So don't be afraid of what you, or other people, don't understand.
