With regard to her work in children’s literacy programs, writer and television producer, Angela C. Santomero visited the Anguilla Public library on Thursday January 3rd to meet and mingle with children and to read selected books to them. The children were elated and excited to meet Angela, and as a special treat for the kids, she distributed special books that are of interest to children who are fond of reading.
Angela C. Santomero is an original Co-Creator, Executive Producer and Head Writer for the breakthrough and award winning animated musical Blue’s Clues. Malcolm Gladwell, in his book The Tipping Point, referred to Blue’s Clues as “one of the stickiest TV shows ever made”. Angela is also the Creator, Executive Producer and Head Writer for the smash hit Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood as well as Super Why!— both PBS series. She is also the Producer of Creative Galaxy and Wishenpoof! (Amazon Studios series).
Angela is the Chief Creative Officer (CCO) of 9 Story Media Group. As CCO, Ms. Santomero leads the creative content strategy across all of 9 Story Media, with facilities in Toronto, New York, Dublin and Manchester. Her appointment followed 9 Story’s recent acquisition of Out of the Blue Enterprises, which was co-founded by Ms. Santomero.
Described by Joanne Rogers as “a modern day Fred Rogers,” and by Fatherly.com as “the driving force behind the best educational programming for children,” Angela’s work has won the prestigious Peabody award, two TCA awards, 30+ Emmy nominations, and numerous Parents Choice Gold Awards. Angela’s legacy is forever changing the way in which preschoolers watch television by presenting them with unique, challenging programs that enable them to learn through play, humor, and respect, thus changing the world one preschooler at a time.
