For awesome podcasts to play, music to move to and stories and soundtracks for sleep, ask your grown-up to head to the kids’ tab on the ABC listen app.  

You can download it free from your app store.

Today we're visiting Sydney, a busy city that's full of sounds. There's trains, bikes, people and lots of birds. A kookaburra is protecting its eggs. Their call is loud, they're feeling angry. Do you sometimes get angry like this kookaburra? It's okay to feel angry sometimes. What's most important is that we try and understand why we're feeling this way.

Today we're visiting a rainforest. There are thick climbing vines all around us. We're watching a palm cockatoo try to open a tree nut, for their lunch. It looks hard; and the cockatoo is feeling frustrated. Sometimes when life gets difficult, we can have some time away from what's making us feel frustrated, take a breath and try again.

Today we're in grasslands in Argentina. Lovely green grass for the farm animals; chickens and cows and horses. Let's see if the animals can play and include each other, despite their differences. Including others helps people feel safe and feel that they belong. How do you find ways to include people?

Today we're visiting a savannah in Tanzania, a country in East Africa. We're by a waterhole, surrounded by lots of animals. A baby zebra accidentally moves away from their mum, getting separated from the herd. Making mistakes is a part of life, it's one of the ways we learn. Baby zebra and Mum find each other. Drifting away can be dangerous, but both will learn from their mistake.

Today we're visiting a park in London, England. It's doggie hour at the park, a time for dogs to come and play together. There are dogs barking and sniffing, they're so excited to make new doggie friends. How do you make friends? Maybe with a smile, a hello, or a how are you?

Today we're headed to a rocky mountain top. There's lots of snow and eagles gliding around us. A fox picks its way through the rocks, alone and looking for lunch. It can be nice to spend time alone, being happy in our own company.

Today we're in the highlands of Lithuania, on a grassy slope surrounded by forests. Birds fly and bees buzz about – all those buzzing buddies working together to make food for the long cold winter. They work very hard together to achieve their goal.

Do you have something you work hard on?

Today we're visiting the African desert. There's a herd of elephants wallowing in mud. It's a hot day and some of mud is drying up. A baby elephant struggles, they are stuck in the mud. As they roll around, they realise they can't free themselves. It's time to ask for help. It's important to remember, you can always ask for help.

Today we're visiting the Congo, to watch some chimps play. Big brother's not happy that baby's getting more attention; it can be hard when things change. You can always talk to someone or ask someone you love for a hug. It's important to remember great things can happen with change.
