From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series, Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Linda Glaser. The book expands the concept of home to include the entire earth. In the episode, host LeVar Burton explores our global interdependence when he visits the United Nations and then meets Craig Kielburger, the teenage founder of Kids Can Free the Children, a global youth group totally run by kids. Viewers will follow members of this youth organization on an extraordinary journey to the poorest section of Nicaragua, where they build a school.

The Reading Rainbow programs are designed to encourage children to read by transporting them to exciting, real-life settings. The series introduces kids to interesting new people and places, explores social and cultural issues, and offers a close-up look at the world around them. Its dynamic, fast-paced, colorful animation and hip music entertain and reinforce these experiences, and help children embrace positive reading habits, skills and attitudes.
