- Hi, everybody.
It's Alan from "Sesame Street."
Now, during these challenging times,
it's important to remember that whether
you're a monster, a big bird, a grouch
or a snuffleupagus that we can all do
our part to keep each other healthy.
We are all in this together.
Doesn't matter if we look the same
or if we look different.
What's important is that we show kindness
and love to each other.
And, speaking of love, I have a book
that I wanna read to you today,
and it is called "Love From Sesame Street."
What do you think, should we read it?
Yeah?
All right, I do too.
Let's read it.
This is "Love From Sesame Street,"
and illustrations are by Ernie Kwiat.
Love is a sunny day.
And look who's drawing that?
That's our good friend Big Bird.
That's right.
Love is dancing by yourself to your favorite song.
Just like our good friend, who's that?
That's right, that's Zoe.
And she loves to dance.
Hey, do you guys like to dance?
Here, let me see it.
Let me see you do a little dance.
♪ Bap bap bah ♪
Good job.
Love is being an everyday hero,
like our friend Super Grover.
And you know what, we have a lot
of everyday heroes to thank right now.
We can thank our doctors and our nurses
and other first responders.
We can thank our teachers, trash collectors,
pharmacists, mail and package carriers
and grocery story workers.
They are all everyday heroes right now.
That's right.
So thank them all.
Thank you.
Love is infinite, bigger than all of the numbers.
And our good friend Count always says, "Ah, ah, ah!"
Love comes in all shapes and sizes,
big, small and in between.
Love is building something together,
like all of them.
Love is giggles and kisses and hugs and squishes.
Oh, look, this is Elmo with his parents,
and he's giving them a big hug.
Give your parents a big hug right now too, all right.
You're gonna do it, oh, squeeze really hard.
All right, good job.
Love sings in every language.
And here's Rosita and Elmo singing
♪ La la la, la la la ♪
Sing it with me.
♪ La la la, la la la ♪
Nice job.
Love is being kind to all your best friends
and being kind to everyone you meet, right?
That's right.
Love makes all kinds of sounds.
And these guys are honkers.
And you know what they do?
They hit their nose, and then they go
Ung ung, ung ung.
Honk honk, honk honk.
Are you doing that with me?
Let's do it.
Honk honk, honk honk, honk honk.
Yes, that's fun, right?
Love is accepting life even when it is messy.
And there's Oscar our grouch saying
"I like it messy!"
Love is an amazing family and a soft bunny.
And who is that?
Do you guys know who that is?
That's right, that's our good friend Julia
with her family and her soft bunny.
And that bunny's name is Fluffster.
Yeah.
Love is cookies and then more cookies!
And look at our friend Cookie Monster.
Hey, do you guys know how Cookie Monster
eats his cookies?
Here, hold up a cookie,
and then eat it like Cookie Monster.
Rrrrr, num, num, num, num!
That's right.
Love is magical and full of wonder,
just like our friend Abby.
There's Abby.
Love is everywhere and all around us,
just like you are surrounded by your Sesame Street friends.
The end.
All right, that was fun.
Did you like that?
You know what, I loved reading this book to you
and being here with you.
So everyone be kind, show some love,
and we'll see ya soon.
Bye-bye.
