In particular, though, the series is a rare preschool show that tells kids that ''it's okay'' to feel negative emotions, and not everything has to be happy and upbeat all the time. It also teaches children how to deal with negative feelings in a constructive manner, predating shows like ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'', ''WesternAnimation/EsmeAndRoy'', and the older-skewing ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain''.
