SCENE 1 David's grandma Grace is back visiting Sesame Street, and Big Bird watches as she puts Celia's hair in cornrows. He learns about how the style had started in Africa, and is a tradition that has been passed down through history for about 3,000 years. Big Bird observes that they're similar to how Olivia sometimes wears her hair, and Sharita shows Big Bird the set of beads in her cornrows. Big Bird learns that the style isn't just for black people, as Grace explains that other people find it fashionable - including Big Bird, who wants his feathers cornrowed as well!
