Steph and the Storytime Crew

Koda the Koala and Wuggles the Worry Wort

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.” 🐨✨ Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2511249/fan_mail/new]

Una the Unicorn and the Things Tests Can’t Measure

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.

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.
