AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY EPISODES
The world is easier to remember when the map comes alive.
Atusa
An Imaginative ExplorerAn imaginative eight-year-old girl with a rather ambitious career plan: when she grows up, she wants to work at the United Nations. So she has decided she had better learn about the world!
Grandpa McCloud
Ancient Cumulus Cloud GuideHer make-believe grandfather who can transform into almost anything—a fox, an airplane, Pegasus, Zeus, or historical legends. His magical transformations provide transportation, comedy, and clever clues.
THE MAP COMES ALIVE
Rather than asking children to memorize flat country shapes, we turn every coastline, mountain range, river, and island into a living story. Geography becomes a vivid visual mnemonic wrapped inside a thrilling adventure!
ATUSA AND THE GODS — GREECE
Atusa arrives at her friend Petro's Greek birthday celebration, encountering unfamiliar instruments, delicious food, dancing—and a surprising number of people named Petro!
Curiosity about Greek name days leads Atusa into the fantastic world of Greek mythology and the tragedy of Medusa.
Flying high above Greece with Grandpa McCloud, fantasy and geography collide! Volcanoes erupt, the Mediterranean churns, and Mount Olympus rises.
THE MAP TRANSFORMS!
The mainland twists, the Cyclades leap from the sea and become writhing snakes...
The map of Greece becomes Medusa's head!
A SERIES WITHOUT BORDERS
Each episode explores another country through a new adventure, giving the series infinite potential to expand well beyond its first thirty destinations.
