Dani is an asthmatic Anything Muppet boy befriended by Elmo and Rosita in A Is for Asthma. He's also bilingual. Dani features heavily in the accompanying booklet and visual materials.
Dani has a positive outlook on life and does all the fun and good things kids like to do. He does not let asthma get him down.
Dani returned in 2016, performed once again by Gabriel Velez (assisted by Peter Linz), in an internet video with Rosita for the Sesame Street in Communities website.
There were two versions of Dani; one with live-hands used for the outreach videos, and a rod-hand puppet used on a nationwide tour.
