New York Times<\/em> best-selling children’s artist\/author Todd Parr (Love the World<\/em>) has teamed up with Spider Eye and SupperTime Entertainment to develop and produce a new original show for preschoolers.<\/p>\n

The new series is currently in development and will be presented at MIPCOM. The three partners previously worked together on a 2016 short film that was created by Parr for Sesame Workshop, animated by Spider Eye and produced by Gerry Renert, the president of SupperTime. Renert said: \u201cThe experience was so smooth and seamless and Spider Eye got Todd\u2019s work so well that it seemed to be natural to try our hand at another project.”<\/p>\n

Parr, who has more than 40 books selling around the globe, noted: \u201cMany in the publishing world now look at me not as just an author\/illustrator but as a ‘feel-good brand,’ consistently bringing themes of understanding, compassion and kindness to kids and parents\u2014in silly, disruptive ways they connect with. In my first conversation with Spider Eye, we discussed how we might put my themes and style of disruption into an original series. I liked what I heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Erica Darby, partner and producer at Spider Eye, added: \u201cWe had such a great experience working with Todd and SupperTime on our first short film that we jumped at the opportunity to develop a series with them. We\u2019re big fans of Todd\u2019s books, and of his ability to get across potentially complicated concepts to kids with a simple and affirming ethos, and in a unique style.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
