* Up and Down is an interactive storybook app uses a split screen format to take kids through a day in the life of two very different children—one in the western Sahara desert and the other in the Western world—and demonstrates the commonalities that tie kids around the world together. [2 of 3]

* Amazon Prime is piloting a bunch of new children’s series. Our favorite is Sara Solves It , a math-focused detective show starring a brown brother-sister duo, set in what seems to be NYC, and featuring and a culturally-diverse cast of kids.
