After 9/11, Sesame Street premiered four special episodes to help children and families manage fear, cope with grief, and understand the importance of tolerance. On this day, we look back at the first episode where Elmo overcomes his fear with the help of FDNY firefighters, showing little ones that it’s okay to be scared, and that helpers are always there to keep us safe. #neverforget | Sesame Street
