Going back to school can stir up all sorts of feelings… excitement, nerves, wobbly tummies, big thoughts, and quiet worries that don’t always have words yet.

In this special Storytime Crew episode, Ollie the Otter, Josie the Jaguar, Savvy the Seal, Emmy the Axolotl, Lenny the Llama and Que the Quokka come together on the night before school starts again. They talk about feeling nervous, carrying big feelings in their backpacks, using their voices when things feel tricky, and remembering that grown-ups feel first-day feelings too.

This gentle, reassuring story helps children:

• normalise back-to-school nerves
• understand what nervous feelings can feel like in their bodies
• learn that bravery includes asking safe adults for help
• feel comforted by the ideas of a snuggle-string and an invisible bubble suit
• remember they don’t have to feel ready to show up as themselves

Perfect for listening in the lead-up to school returning, or the night before the first day back.

A companion Backpack of Feelings activity pack is available for parents to purchase. You’ll find the link below if you’d like to continue the conversation together at home -> https://linktr.ee/whitespacewellbeing

Because there is nothing wrong with feeling nervous.

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.

Get ready for a sleigh ride of giggles, glitter and glorious chaos in this very special Christmas episode of Steph and the Storytime Crew.

Join Que the Quokka as she steps into the Storytime Village on Christmas Eve… expecting a calm day of decorating… only to find Coops in a colour-coded bauble crisis, Ollie vibrating with excitement, Lenny declaring Christmas is cancelled, Chloe dodging compliments, and Dane wearing a wreath as a belt because “it felt festive.”

And just when things start settling… Emmy the Axolotl sneezes, her glitter jar explodes (again!), and a wonderfully, wobbly Christmas ensues.

Through all the sparkles, meltdowns, big feelings and belly laughs, Que helps the crew navigate disappointment, sensory overwhelm, perfection pressure and those “I ruined everything” moments. Together they turn the chaos into something magical: the Wobbly Wondertree and the very first Glitter Snow Christmas Festival.

This heartwarming, hilarious story teaches kids that:
• mistakes can turn into magic
• perfection is overrated
• teamwork makes the tinsel work
• and Christmas joy comes from kindness, connection and letting yourself shine exactly as you are

Perfect for car rides, bedtimes, or as a festive family listen curled up under the twinkling lights.

Tune in, little legends… Christmas is about to get wonderfully wobbly. 🎄✨
