About
Koi Cove is a fun, educational, and engaging animated series for kids under 10 — built for the way children actually watch today: short, bright, and full of tiny wonders.
Every episode lives inside the Sunken Prairie Gulch, a hidden freshwater cove beneath a Texas prairie. Ripple, Glow, Shelby the sea snail, Dart the pufferfish, and even grumpy Clawmont the snapping turtle ask the questions kids actually wonder — and answer them with feeling, not lectures.
We ask the questions kids really wonder about. No forced rhymes, no 'hey kids!'
Feelings are named plainly. Sadness gets a beat. Joy doesn't need exclamation points.
Every episode ends with a small 'huh, I never thought of that' — the ripple.
Created by
Koi Cove is the creation of Derek Clayton — storyteller, dad, and lifelong pond-peerer. Derek dreamt up the Sunken Prairie Gulch as a place where children could slow down, ask the small questions, and feel the ripple.
