REVIEW
“Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king” —Ecclesiastes 4:13. Alma Rivera (voice of Summer Rose Castillo ), is the proud six year old Puerto Rican living in the Bronx embodiment of the Biblical saying.
In every episode, Alma’s Way aims to model self-awareness, responsible decision making, and empathy, encouraging kids to generate and value their own ideas and questions. As she uses “Think-Through” moments to stop, listen, and process in the face of a tough decision, Alma reflects and takes action while demonstrating social awareness.
