Trudie is fed up with a capital F! Her brother Edwin is so annoying and so are her parents. She is sure they like him better than her, because he is cute and little and he has just got a staring role in the school play. She feels jealous with a capital J. Shelly appears just in time to cool her hot head down and help her look at her problems from another view. She has experienced jealousy herself and has buckets of advice. Can Trudie learn from her jealously? Can she take those feelings and find something of her own that makes her feel shiny and brilliant?  Will she ever find Edwin less annoying? Listen to find out.

Highlights include – a pair of mad drama teachers, a rude poem about a giraffe and some harmonising daffodils.
