Description:

An award-winning @PBS animated children' series. The episodes are based on the best-selling anthology - The Book of Virtues, by former U.S. Education Secretary William Bennett. They are designed to enlighten, inspire and spark the imaginaion of families everywhere, while illustrating a central theme through classic international heroes and stories. The stories are meant to encourage character development in young ones.

Annie and Zach are the show's animated human stars, who learn of virtue from their animal mentors, whose names -- Aristotle, Socrates, Aurora, and Plato -- reflect their philosophical nature.

This episode, Adventures in Faith, considers the virtue of faith through illustrative stories, including "Daniel in the Lion's Den," "The 23rd Psalm," and "Harriet Tubman." Annie is saddened when her faith-devoted friend Ruth passes away, and wonders whether faith is really worth it. Plato tries to convince her that it is very much worth it and does so by telling the stories of the Hebrew Daniel in the lions' den, and Harriet Tubman's determination to use faith to continue taking risks throughout her life.
