They were each nominated for Emmy Awards for their first seasons, and their second seasons are set to premiere later this year on PBS KIDS.<\/p>\n<p>The animated <em>Alma\u2019s Way<\/em> follows Alma, a Bronx-born Puerto Rican 6-year-old who lives in the Bronx with her family among a diverse group of friends and community members. In each episode, Alma models self-awareness, responsible decision-making and empathy. It is created by Sonia Manzano (Maria on <em>Sesame Street<\/em>) and produced by Fred Rogers Productions in association with Pipeline Studios (<em>Elinor Wonders Why<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>The puppet series <em>Donkey Hodie<\/em> is inspired by characters from <em>Mister Rogers\u2019 Neighborhood<\/em> and follows the adventures of an enthusiastic go-getter who takes on each day with curiosity and resilience, empowering preschoolers to dream big and overcome obstacles, work hard and persevere in the face of failure. It is produced by Fred Rogers Productions and Spiffy Pictures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Arthur Vining Davis Foundations is one of the nation\u2019s foremost patrons of public media for viewers of all ages and a valued supporter of Fred Rogers Productions,\u201d said Paul Siefken, president and CEO of Fred Rogers Productions. \u201cTheir funding enables us to provide a range of innovative and enriching programming to children and families every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael Murray, president and CEO of AVDF, added, \u201cBy working with Fred Rogers Productions, we are supporting the very best in children\u2019s media.
