Mister Rogers always used to say, "What is mentionable can be more manageable." In a new episode of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (now streaming on the PBS KIDS app), Miss Elaina struggles to find a bandage that matches her skin tone.

Thank you , Debbie Reese.

Friends who love Island of The Blue Dolphins, this is important info for you to know and share with your kids/students/bookstore owners/etc.
