In this animated story from the PBS KIDS series MOLLY OF DENALI™, Molly and Tooey decide to make their own comic book featuring two Alaska Native superheroes. (Move the cursor over the video progress bar to locate “Homemade Heroes” at 01:00.) Their comic book inspires their friends, Vera and Oscar, to create their own superheroes too. When Oscar finds a contest—to create a superhero and see the winner published in the next issue—everyone is excited. But there can be only one winner, and they all have superheroes to enter. Who will win?
