SONIA MANZANO SERIES

Your Hometown is a show where the local is the epic. So, вЂњcome and playвЂќ and вЂњsweep the clouds awayвЂќ вЂ“ by listening to one of the truest teachers youвЂ™ll find in New York or any hometown. And in part two, she explains how she got from the Bronx to Sesame Street and lived a second childhood as an adult with experiences to share. In the first part, Sonia takes us from the world of Sesame Street-actually, her audition-back to her beginnings in the South Bronx. MIRACLE ON 133RD STREET by Sonia Manzano illustrated by Marjorie Priceman Quickview. Where did she find these things when she was a kid? For over 30 years, Sonia Manzano inspired, educated, and delighted children and families as Maria on Sesame Street. How different was SoniaвЂ™s New York from the one she helped to create as Maria? On our TVs, Sonia gave us something we needed: a feeling of love and safety, empathy and imagination. Sonia Manzano, the evenings honoree better known as Maria for 44 years on Sesame Street, wowed the crowd of more than 750 museum supporters, and local rock. Thousands of new, high-quality pictures are added every day.

But Sonia grew up in the very real place of the South Bronx-most vividly on Third Avenue near Crotona Park. Find Sonia Manzano stock photos in HD and millions of other editorial images in the Shutterstock collection.
