About Rosie's Rules

Rosie Fuentes is an inquisitive and hilarious 5-year-old Mexican-American girl just beginning to learn about the wow-mazing world beyond her family walls. In this series for ages kids 3-6, Rosie’s endless curiosity sets the stage for her ongoing pursuits to learn more about her family, her community and beyond (until recently, she didn’t even know there was a beyond!). As Rosie figures things out, the answers become “Rosie’s Rules.” These “rules'' range from the silly and sweet, to the practical. Some of Rosie’s astute discoveries include, “Don’t try to mail your cat to Mexico” and “Sometimes flopping helps you get your feelings out.”

Like many children across the country, Rosie is part of a blended, multicultural family; Papá is from Mexico City and Mom is from rural Wisconsin. Rosie has a little brother, Iggy, and an older sister, Crystal, who is Mom’s child from her first marriage. The Fuentes family lives together in suburban Texas with their cat (and Rosie’s partner-in-crime), Gatita. Tia Margarita and cousin Javi live nearby too! Rosie is bilingual in English and Spanish and loves to celebrate her multicultural identity. Throughout the series, she joyfully introduces viewers to the art, traditions and foods of the Southwest, Midwest and Mexico, where her Abuela lives.

“Rosie’s Rules” aims to teach children concrete social studies lessons about how a community works, helping them develop an awareness of themselves as individuals and as part of a broader society. It features a comprehensive social studies framework that encompasses civics and government, geography, economics, and history via engaging, character-based narratives. Each story builds on a preschooler’s budding understanding of a concept (mail, transportation, family roles) and extends the learning from there. And Rosie is ready to learn it all… by figuring it out herself.
