Sesame Street: Talk, Listen, Connect is an educational outreach initiative designed to support military families during time of deployment. The video features Elmo, who faces a difficult transition when his father, Louie, is away. The video doesn't explicitly state that Louie is in the military; instead, it's explained that he'll be away for "lots and lots of days" because "working" and "helping people".
While Louie is away, Elmo's mom consoles her son, and lets him know that it's okay to feel nervous about seeing his father again after their time apart. They pass the time while they're waiting by keeping a daily routine. When it is finally time for her husband to come home, Elmo's mom bakes a cake and helps Elmo and his friends decorate for the homecoming.
The special was produced by Sesame Workshop in partnership with Wal-Mart Stores. It has been made available to schools and parenting groups for no charge. The special is also available for download by Sesame Workshop and Akamai Technologies at sesameworkshop.org, and on a DVD made available in a free kit from Military OneSource.
