In this episode, we talk about what a hero is!

Some of the first stories people told were about heroes, and they're still among the most popular stories today. In this video series, we're going to be creating some of those stories about heroes, put them up against hero-sized problems, and help them come up with solutions that amaze us! In this episode, we talk about what a hero is! Each episode of SPTV includes one of these educational lessons. Catch full episodes of Story Pirates on the Michigan Learning Channel.
