Acclaimed storyteller Madafo Lloyd Wilson (pictured) hosts this annual one-hour special that captures the tales and traditions of African-American and African peoples. Featuring stories told to, for and about children, it presents traditional and original works of poetry, music and prose that speak to the institution of family. With folktale, song and poetry, Wilson and friends put the spotlight on youth: love for them, responsibility to them, and ways adults can sometimes not see them. Favorite features also return, including the show’s poet laureate, Beverly Fields Burnette, who delights all with an original composition.

A Season’s Griot airs Sunday, December 27 at 10 p.m., and Friday, January 1 at 1 p.m. and 11 p.m.
