Block by Block

Youth Art and Media Works presents BLOCK BY BLOCK
– A web series for ‘tween boys and girls


“Block by Block” is a contemporary spin on the extraordinarily successful kid’s dramas of the past. In the tradition of Little House on the Prairie, and much like Canada’s DeGrassi, “Block by Block” entertains and educates kids through compelling and real storytelling that leads to hopeful, positive outcomes.
