DIRTGIRLWORLD SYNOPOSIS
dirtgirl's backyard is full of friends. There's ScrapBoy, her best friend, a cow punk who's a whiz with junk, Grubby with her worm's eye view, Ken, a super stunt star weevil, Roger the Rooster and The chicks, Hayman the monosyllabic scarecrow, and The Green Thumbs... real kids in real gardens having unreal fun.
dirtgirlworld is a place of bizarre insects, underground tunnels, and performing stunt bugs. Funky pop songs, guitars with attitude, beats, grooves and loops all blended with a tractor, make up the infectiously cool music in dirtgirlworld. This musicentric series explores the natural world and invites the audience to 'go get grubby' in the big world outside.
ABOUT DIRTGIRLWORLD
Since dirtgirlworld first burst onto screens she has also been busting out into the real world and bringing her infectious fun filled attitude to eco living to kids around the planet.
Most importantly there are the stories from the fans; the green thumbs; the dirtgirlworld great global family. From kids with giant pumpkins, crooked carrots, grubby hands, spectacular birthday cakes, parrots that sing along to the show, fascinations with orange tractors, monster worms and spectacular veggie gardens, we receive letters, drawings and photos.
There's an army of positive planet loving preschoolers out there. They grow trees and clouds (broccoli and cauliflower), giant tomatoes, enormous spuds, super salads and giant sunflowers. There are active, engaged, and funny dirtgirls and scrapboys everywhere...the next generation of worm farmers, recyclers and stargazers.
