The TVI Take
Classic Canadian animated series based on Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark's beloved picture books. Franklin the turtle navigates school, friendships, and family with genuine emotional intelligence.
Moral scenarios are nuanced without being didactic — mistakes have consequences, feelings are validated, and resolutions require real effort. A foundational children's series with lasting SEL value.
