Canadian parents of children aged 2 to 5 are no doubt familiar with “Miss Persona”, the Treehouse series that’s become a smash hit with the preschool set.
Portrayed by Kimberly Persona (also the series’ creator), “Miss Persona” is aimed at entertaining youngsters while helping them understand the often confusing world around them, following in the footsteps of such forebears as “Mr.
Rogers’ Neighborhood”, “The Big Comfy Couch” and Canada’s own “Mr. Dressup”. This weekend, “Miss Persona” will break new ground with a pair of pride themed episodes featuring a same-sex marriage.
In two new episodes airing Saturday, April 17, kids will watch Miss Persona’s mom (Jane McClelland) marry her partner, Lorna (comedian and writer Elvira Kurt).
