What if worry wasn’t something to worry about… but something to get curious about?

In this gentle and heartfelt Storytime Crew episode, we meet up with Koda the Koala, a sweet little koala with a very busy brain. His worries stack up on top of each other until everything feels a bit too much… sound familiar?

But everything changes when Koda meets Wuggles the Worry Wort, a wiggly, wobbling little creature who might not be the enemy after all.

Instead of pushing worry away, Koda learns a powerful new way to respond… by getting curious.

This story softly introduces children to:
 • understanding worry instead of fearing it
 • recognising that worry is trying to help
 • simple tools to feel calmer and more in control
 • how to let worry sit beside them, not take over

With a calming “Steph Magic Moment” woven in, this episode gives children a practical, soothing technique they can use at bedtime or anytime worries pop up.

Perfect for sensitive kids, big thinkers, and busy little brains.

Because sometimes… the bravest thing we can do isn’t to get rid of worry… it’s to say, “Hello, Wuggles.” 🐨✨

When Miss Pepper announces that school tests are coming up, one very sparkly unicorn goes into full panic mode. Convinced she must prepare for every possible question in the entire universe, Una studies fractions… volcanoes… and even the emotional intelligence of dolphins.

Along the way, the Storytime Crew discovers a powerful truth about exams: tests are just tiny snapshots of what your brain shows in that moment. They can measure answers, but they can’t measure kindness, courage, creativity, humour, or heart.

This gentle, funny story supports children who feel nervous about tests and reminds them that cleverness looks different in every brain. Featuring relatable school worries, neurodivergent strengths, and a few unexpected unicorn sparkle toots, this episode helps take the pressure off performance and build real confidence from the inside out.

Perfect for kids aged 5–12, especially sensitive, anxious, or neurodivergent little legends who need reassurance that they are far more than any mark on a test.

Noah the Nimbus Dragon lives high up in the sky, floating gently from cloud to cloud. There is one part of the sky that makes his wings soften and his breath slow in such a magical way. A place that feels like home.

But when the sky changes and a storm rolls through, Noah discovers something very important.

In this calming, heart-led story, children are guided to explore what belonging really feels like and how safety can live inside their own bodies, even when the world around them is changing, feels noisy or may be unfamiliar.

Through gentle imagery, steady pacing, and simple nervous system tools woven into the story, Noah the Nimbus Dragon and the Feeling of Home also helps kids learn that they don’t have to absorb the emotions around them to belong, and that other people’s storms are not theirs to carry.

Perfect for sensitive children, big feelers, and anyone navigating change, this story offers a soothing reminder that home and that sense of belonging isn’t just a place. It’s a feeling you can take with you, wherever you go.

Get ready for giggles, sparkles and a whole lot of heart in this brand-new Storytime Crew adventure.

In Josie the Jaguar: A Funny Kids’ Story About Confidence and Self-Belief we follow Josie, a beautifully sensitive jaguar who wakes up having one of those wobbly days where everything feels harder and self-doubt sneaks in like a sneaky little shadow.

On a mission to find out who she’s “supposed” to be, Josie tries being a squirrel, a bird, even a hippo… and fails spectacularly in the funniest ways. Luckily, her best friend Una the Unicorn is right beside her, offering questionable coaching, powerful support and a collection of bottom burps so magical they could probably start a small storm.

As Josie accidentally rediscovers her true strengths, she learns that sensitivity is actually a superpower and that her brilliance never really disappeared. It was just waiting quietly for her to remember it.

This uplifting, laugh-out-loud safari adventure is perfect for little legends who sometimes doubt themselves, feel big feelings or forget just how extraordinary they truly are.

And yes… there are farts. So. many. farts.

Tune in, snuggle up and let your little one’s confidence roar again.

Hold onto your fins, little legends… things are about to get very sparkly.

In this hilarious new Steph and the Storytime Crew episode, we dive deep into Fish School where Emmy the Axolotl faces the loudest, wildest, most glitter-covered day of her life. Between a shouty teacher, a pufferfish who keeps exploding like a disco balloon, Koko the Koi Fish's questionable “extra sparkle spray,” and a glitter cloud so big it basically becomes a weather event… Emmy’s gentle heart hits its tipping point.

With a little help from Mrs Snail and a whole lot of heart, Emmy discovers her secret superpower:
The Bubble of Fabulous Calm
…a magical, invisible bubble kids can create anytime the world feels too loud, too busy, or too sparkly (in the wrong sort of way).

This story is perfect for sensitive kids, deep feelers, anxious little ones and the mini-empaths who absorb everything. Through giggles and chaos and glitter in the most unexpected places (yes… even there), kids learn how to:

• understand big feelings
• reset when overwhelmed
• build their own calm bubble
• keep their sparkle for themselves first

And of course, Ollie the Otter makes a ridiculous cameo… because what is life without butt-drawing with glitter?

A funny, heart-squeezing, gently empowering story for every sensitive soul who’s ever felt like the world was a little too loud.
