Those cheeky fish, Sonny and Van are back in the latest episode and this time their big energy has landed them in a rather echoey predicament.

After ignoring a VERY clear sign and sneaking into Echo Cave, one small mistake quickly turns into a full-blown cave catastrophe. But when the cave starts repeating every unkind thing Sonny and Van say about themselves, they discover something much more important than how to find their way back out.

This funny, gentle story explores impulsivity, making mistakes, negative self-talk and that horrible feeling of being “too much.” With a little help from Pearl the Puffer Fish and Odin the Octopus, Sonny and Van learn that making a mistake doesn’t make you bad, your loudest thoughts aren’t always true and sometimes the best thing you can do is pause, breathe and choose your next right step.

Perfect for big-energy kids, fast-moving brains and any little legend learning to speak to themselves with a bit more kindness.

And yes… there is also one respectfully approved bum joke.

Thanks so much for joining us for another adventure with Steph and the Storytime Crew.

I'm Steph, an Integrative Therapist based in Perth, Australia, and I specialise in helping sensitive kids understand their big feelings, regulate their nervous systems and discover just how incredible they truly are.

These stories were born from my own journey as a mum. My son needed a fun, gentle way to understand emotions, friendships, confidence, anxiety, resilience, and all the wonderfully messy parts of growing up. So I started creating stories that could spark conversations, build emotional literacy and help children feel seen, safe and understood.

If these stories have become a special part of your family's bedtime or your child would benefit from some extra support, I'd love to help. I work with children and families both in person and remotely around the globe through nervous system reset sessions and holistic wellbeing support.

You can find out more, book a session, or explore my other resources at www.whitespacewellbeing.com.au, or come and say hello on Instagram @whitespace_wellbeing_perth or @stephandthestorytimecrew.

Until next time, keep being kind, keep being curious, and always remember... you matter, you belong and you are wonderful exactly as you are.
