About MOLLY OF DENALI™
MOLLY OF DENALI is an animated PBS KIDS series that follows the adventures of feisty and resourceful Molly Mabray, a 10-year-old Alaska Native girl. MOLLY OF DENALI is the first nationally distributed children’s series in the U.S. to feature an Alaska Native lead character. MOLLY OF DENALI is designed to help kids ages 4-8 develop informational text knowledge and skills, while also highlighting traditional Alaska Native values. In each episode, Molly’s life and adventures are enhanced, illuminated and broadened by using and creating a variety of informational texts (including books, online resources, field guides, historical archives, Indigenous knowledge passed down by Elders, maps, charts, posters, photos and more).
