The programme was designed to be multilingual with each language being taught in its cultural context.
The stories involve three young children and their magical friends. Anne, Henry and Edward embark on magical adventures and share the many lessons they learn.
The stories promote self-confidence and self-awareness in early childhood. Through different scenarios, children are encouraged to take initiative and develop an appreciation of the value of teamwork. They also develop critical thinking skills and become problem-solvers.
