ALMA’S SUMMERTIME MUSICAL- OUT MAY 22, 2026

When Sonny Soto hosts a contest for the kids of the Bronx to write the best Song of Summer, Alma and Eddie want to win. But what should their song be about?

Alma’s Way on PBS Kids is an animated series for kids ages 4-6. Each half-hour episode consists of two 11-minute stories filled with heart, comedy, and the beat of the Bronx. Created by actor, writer, and TV icon Sonia Manzano (beloved by generations as “Maria” on Sesame Street) and inspired by her own childhood, Alma’s Way centers on 6-year-old Alma Rivera, a proud, confident Puerto Rican girl. Alma lives in the Bronx with her family among a diverse group of close-knit friends and community members. Infused with Sonia’s humor and grounded in critical thinking and social-emotional learning, the series will give children the tools to discover the confidence to think for themselves, find their own answers, and recognize and respect the unique perspective of others.
