This official tie-in book to Marilyn Agrelös (Mad Hot Ballroom) documentary Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street supplements the film¿s exploration of the origins and legacy of Sesame Street with exclusive interviews and unseen photographs from first two seasons of this globally beloved series.
