Zeerak is an Afghan Muppet appearing on the Sesame Workshop co-production Baghch-e-Simsim, and the little brother of Zari. Zeerak, whose name means "smart" and "talented" in Afghanistan's two languages Dari and Pashto, is described as an "energetic and eager 4-year-old," who looks up to his older sister, and aspires to go to school with her. He will make his debut in the sixth season of Baghch-e-Simsim, where he will display his love of learning to read, count, painting and playing games with Zari.
