Cosmos & Nova – My First YouTube Kids

Posted on July 9, 2024 by Karima Hoisan

Hi all,
I know I have disappeared again for bit, but I’m back,  hauling a little treasure I put together
 I hope you will agree. 🙂
This is my first “Made for Children” YouTube Kids and as I said on YouTube, it’s made for ages 2 to 102 (if you’re young at heart )
It’s a simple little tale that I narrate and filmed in Second Life and as always has a new Garage Band Soundtrack.
I have a colorful credits page to thank all who in one way or another contributed, but a special special thanks to Dale Innis, who was part of the whole process, from beginning to end.
One big favor I would like to ask…If you know English speaking children between 2-6 or 7 maybe,(your kids, grandkids, neighbors, etc, ) please show it to them..to see what they think. I have never made a video  for YouTube Kids and I might try to do it again..so any and all feedback is very appreciated..
Adults are welcome to weigh-in too here too but only Likes on YouTube as comments are automatically turned off:)
Here it is..please watch in 4K and fullscreen and ENJOY!!!  Pass it on to the little ones:) please 🙏

    What fun! I love the little mystery of the Dark Flyers, and the warm safety of everyone (even the scary crocs!) at the end. Once again you’ve found another new thing to do. 🙂

    I totally enjoyed it and just wish all children enjoyed such care and protection … sadly [it was my job] I know such ‘safety’ is not afforded many children. Great job, super enjoyable and not sure there are any in that younger age range in my village … sorry I couldn’t leave a comment there!

    Hola Karima. Lamentablemente no hablo inglés. Vivo en Chile y mi círculo de amistades están en mis misma condiciones. Ví e vídeo y me parece magnífico y como no, tu voz es exquisita y me imagino que va a cautivar a los niños con tu relato. Un abrazo y que todo fluya bien con tu video.

      Para ti Manuel..La Traducción..Mañana te escribo.. Muchas gracias:

      Érase una vez en una hermosa isla donde llovió mucho incluso a veces llueven ranas y los voladores de las sombras los mantuvieron a salvo dos patitos de la misma madre dos huevos que eclosionaron y nacieron. Se veían muy diferentes y eran muy diferentes pero eran hermano y hermana como recién empezaban para descubrir de qué se trataba la vida y los voladores de las sombras los mantuvieron a salvo Cosmos era el patito niño. & Nova era la niña patito ellos mismos se nombraron como les gusta hacer a los patitos y los voladores de las sombras los mantuvieron a salvo Se quedaron cerca de su mamá. y cerca unos de otros. Mezclado con la belleza de su estanque Había algunos peligros No podían jugar con un cocodrilo bebé Su mamá les advirtió Incluso con sus dientes de leche Podría morder y nunca deben Aventúrate hasta los árboles oscuros. La madre cocodrilo vivía allí y Era muy buen escondite y podía asustarlos. Incluso con todo eso, la vida era increíble. podrían visitar a Mama Loon al otro lado de las flores ella también tuvo un bebé pero era tan pequeño que lo llevaba en la espalda Swan siempre se deslizaba y era amable con ellos. La vida era pacífica y los voladores de las sombras los mantuvieron a salvo pero un día vino un gran viento se apresuraron a buscar refugio con su mamá todos se dispersaron y hubo un relámpago Hubo un trueno, fue muy fuerte y aterrador. Luego todo terminó y el cielo se despejó. Los voladores de las sombras volaron para asegurarse de que todos estaba a salvo. El bebé cocodrilo y su hermano pequeño estaban a salvo. Mamá loca y su bebé estaban a salvo, se escondieron con el cisne. Mamá cocodrilo se zambulló profundamente y estuvo a salvo y luego el artista regresó. Había estado haciendo dibujos en su silla pero se fue. antes de la tormenta Ohhh tenía dos nuevos dibujos a lápiz.. Los patitos estaban tan sorprendidos. ¡¡Él los había dibujado!! Cosmos y nueva fueron exhibidos… en el muelle Que emocionante.,…y la mejor parte ¡¡Trajo migas de pan para todos!! Considerándolo todo, fue un día increíble. Y los voladores de las sombras los mantuvieron a salvo toda la noche. y su mamá también.

    i love it! why distinguish so sharply between 6 year old kids & 83 year old kids? we always retain that inner child! it is part of our physical life yet, due to the situation set-up of brain/memory.

    the shadowflyers make perfect adult sense, but need a bit of a back-story: how does a being from the shadowland come to care about younglings? there’s transformation hiding somewhere in the background here! makes me curious!😘🤗😊

    Hi soulkin

    and yes you are right.. “6 year old kids & 83 year old kids?” there is no difference, but as a content creator, If I am ever going to put a video on YouTube Kids, I need the smaller kid’s opnion. (altho I love your opnion too big kid:) The shadow fliers could be a whole other video, that;s true, but the message there, is just because they are different and unknown, should they have to be scary? What if they were white? Anyway, it’s my first attempt at something like this, so I value all feedback.
    I’m glad the flyers made you curious…that is one of the reasons they are in the story:):) Love and hugs and so glad you loved it!! 🙏🤗❤️

    Vaya Karima. Es sorprendente tu cuento. Voy a tratar leerle a mi nieto. Tiene 5 años pero si se lo explico bien, lo va entenderlo. Muchas gracias por tomarte la molestia de enviarme la traducción.Estoy seguro que va tener una buena aceptación el vídeo. Un gran abrazo.

    Oh this is going to be fun to listen to, Karima. Can’t wait and maybe I’ll get permission to show Sienna. The other one has a strict rule, “no screen time”. ❤️

        hahaha, yes, soooo many benefits for sure! Love em, spoil them in kisses and hand them back. It’s so beautiful and the story is touching and so artfully done. The music and raining frogs and bread crumbs for all is so inclusive and joyful. Probs a little early for the babies that really aren’t babies but going to be officially toddlers soon. ❤️

    A new venture, once again, Karima! A great job indeed. It shows you are young at heart. And the video is in fact enjoyable for kids from 2 to 102. Well done 👍🌹💐🙏
