Keys: Unlocking What Makes Us Who We Are

November 10, 2021

Why do we lock things? How can we unlock them?

Andrew & Polly explore all types of keys -- the jingly kind and the genetic. Meanwhile, sneaky gift-giving giraffes Kevin & Louise have to crack Andrew & Polly’s new gate code to deliver some leftover Halloween candy.

Our friend Jack shares about his brother’s very unique chromosomes and how he thinks genetic codes and kindness go together. And we get another house call from pediatric surgeon Dr. Willie Moses who explains more of the science behind genetic codes and how learning to focus as a choirboy unlocked his potential as a lifelong learner.
