The Children's Hour Folgen

The Children's Hour broadcast live from the Tony Hillerman Branch Library in Albuquerque. Daughter Anne Hillerman explained why we named a library after author Tony Hillerman. We had live original music from Sage Harrington kids in the Bosque Song School. Librarian Laura Metzler read us Tony Hillerman's "Buster Mesquite's Cowboy Band" and we learned about the Albuquerque Rose Garden, home to more than 1000 roses.

How does a state's Legislature work? New Mexico State Representative Elizabeth Thomson, and the Wild Friends of New Mexico help us understand the process of making an idea into a law using the legislative process. Kids in Wild Friends have teamed up with Rep. Thomson this year to try to protect New Mexico pollinators. Learn how kids can be a part of their effort and how to participate in the State of New Mexico Legislative Session. 

We play some of what we think are the best kids songs from 2018, and we play all the Grammy nominees for 2018's Best Children's Release, plus more of our favorites that came out this year. Find out what happens when a dog or cat ends up in "the pound". Bernalillo County Animal Welfare brought in a furry adoptable kitten named Mittens and told the tale of her journey, and where she goes from here.
