A series for preschoolers called Listen to Your Vegetables & Eat Your Parents will “take young children and their families around the globe on an adventure that tells us the story of our food,” the statement said. During her time as the first lady, Michelle Obama advocated for healthy eating habits for children.
Another project is a non-fiction series based on the Michael Lewis book The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy about “the unheralded work done by everyday heroes guiding our government and safeguarding our nation.” The Lewis book was critical of the US administration’s transition from Obama to US President Donald Trump.
The company also is adapting Pulitzer Prize-winning book Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom by David W Blight about the celebrated abolitionist.
“We believe each of these productions won’t just entertain, but will educate, connect and inspire us all,” Obama said in the statement.
