From Korean creator Minah Eom and TOBEIT Global Corp., the mission of "Hanni and the Wild Woods" is to give preschoolers a greater appreciation and understanding of the importance of nature.

"By showing them its inherent beauty, I hope to plant within them at a young age a desire and a sense of duty to protect our planet."

"We are excited to bring our viewers on a journey along with Hanni and the Forest Friends through the wonderful world we live in," said Corenna Smith, Director of Content and Marketing, Discovery Family Channel.
