Popcorn legs. Buzzy tummies. Big exciting feelings!

Today, Ruby wakes up with a body full of excitement that just won’t sit still. Her legs feel like popcorn, her thoughts are racing, and everything feels a bit… too much. With the gentle help of Ollie (and Hat, of course), she learns that excitement isn’t something to get rid of — it’s something you can hold gently so your body can keep up.

This cosy, playful story helps kids learn how to:

✨ Notice when their body feels too buzzy

✨ Understand what excitement feels like inside

✨ Use a simple calming technique to slow things down

✨ Regulate big feelings without squashing the good ones

Perfect for:

• Morning routines before school
• Car rides
• Kids who feel everything BIG
• And little bodies that sometimes go faster than their feelings can handle

🧠 Social-Emotional Learning focus:

Excitement, emotional regulation, body awareness
