Martita Goshen - Dance (1985)
This episode focuses on Martita Goshen, who uses her dancing to teach kids about whales. Goshen uses her interpretative dancing skills to connect with the whales, and to do her part in protecting them. She showcases her skills at an elementary school in South Carolina and asks them to follow along so that they can understand whales in a way that is creative and familiar to her.
Paul Winter - Music (1985)
This episode focuses on Paul Winter, a musician who uses various animal sounds in his work. Some of the animal sounds he uses include whales, otters, seals, and wolves. In the episode, we see Winter perform a song he made using the sounds of wolves. We also see him and one of his friends show a group of children an owl and hawk, to teach them about the noises they make.
Jean George - Writing (1985)
This episode focuses on Jean George, a writer who writes books centered around nature. In the episode, George invites a group of children to her home where she answers their questions, gives them diaries, and teaches them how to write. She also teaches the children what it is like to “live off the land,” which means to survive only by the resources that can be harvested from the natural land.
Ansel Adams – Photography (1985)
This episode focuses on Ansel Adams, a photographer with a strong passion for nature. In this episode, he answers questions from a group of children and teaches them the art of photography. The children are also taught the process the photos must go through to come out right. Through his photography, Adams shows both children and adults, alike, a different perspective of looking at nature.
