Celebrating Three Kings Day and Puerto Rican Culture with Alma’s Way

PBS Kids wishes you and your family a joyful, bright, and healthy new year! The new year brings new challenges and successes for families, just like those seen in the PBS Kids series, Alma’s Way. The series stars 6-year-old Alma Rivera, a proud and confident Bronx-born Puerto Rican girl living with her family and a diverse group of friends and neighbors. This week, we celebrate the tradition of Alma and her family, Three Kings Day.
