Tamir on the Street Premieres on Sesame Street YouTube Channel

Sesame Workshop has debuted Tamir on the Street on Sesame Street’s YouTube channel as part of its Coming Together initiative.

The series stars Sesame Street character 8-year-old Tamir, who learns more about the friends and neighbors in his community by asking big questions. In the first episode, Tamir asks Cookie Monster, Ji-Young and Charlie, “What does it mean to believe in yourself?”

In future episodes, set to be released monthly exclusively on YouTube, other questions such as “what are our friends’ family traditions?” and “how can we be a good friend?” are asked.

Tamir on the Street is produced in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery. It is part of Sesame Workshop’s Coming Together initiative, which aims to nurture children’s positive and healthy race, ethnic and cultural identities and sense of belonging.

“Children are naturally curious about one another and how they are the same and different from each other. They ask a lot of questions,” said Akimi Gibson, VP and education publisher at Sesame Workshop. “Tamir on the Street models the power of asking and following your own questions and helps parents guide their child to be smarter, stronger and kinder. Coming Together provides parents with insights to the tough questions children may have about race, ethnicity and culture.”
