The songs are catchy and the kids will enjoy learning the choreography and singing along. Together We Can breaks down big concepts like voting into everyday actions, such as speaking in class or choosing dinner as a family. It relates these key values to children's fantastical aspirations like associating the idea of being an"upstander" -- helping others who are treated unfairly -- with being a superhero. These relatable clips, with engaging sound and choreography, should spark kids' interest to learn.
