Kids should feel safe and secure when they leave their homes for school each day, but in the wake of another school shooting, this time at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, children across the U.S. are looking to their parents and caregivers for answers.

Many grown-ups are still processing the killing of 19 kids and two teachers and feel powerless in knowing how to talk to their kids about school shootings, but a friend from their own childhoods wants to help.

Hours after news of the shooting broke, Sesame Street took to Twitter to share words and resources to help families navigate the troubling headlines. "Our thoughts are with our friends in Texas," the tweet read. "You are not alone."

Adults, many of whom grew up watching Sesame Street themselves, were quick to comment, sharing that knowing old friends like Big Bird and Elmo were there to help was a comfort.
