Street Fight: Mean America and the War on Sesame Street
New from Michael Davis for Spring 2027.
Skirmishes in the culture wars have placed Sesame Street in the crosshairs, but the fight for tolerance, acceptance, and kindness is far from over. Best-Selling author Michael Davis is back, expanding a saga that began with "Street Gang," the origin story of the world's most influential television series.
“Davis tracks down every Sesame anecdote and every Sesame personality in his book . . . Finally, we get to touch Big Bird’s feathers.” —The New York Times Book Review
