Ruby’s house suddenly fills with suitcases… and The Guests. 🧳🏡

And Hat is very curious about what happens when visitors stay for a while. In this playful Hat Business adventure, Ruby discovers that having guests can feel exciting, strange, funny… and sometimes a little squishy. Through spying missions, giggles, and curious questions, Ruby learns that sharing your space can also mean sharing stories, laughs, and brand new memories.

Ruby and Hat discover a rickety old bridge swinging high above a rushing creek… and it definitely wasn’t built for wobblers.
To reach the other side, they’ll need teamwork, steady feet, and a big dose of courage. But every step creaks. Every plank wiggles. And something splashy might be waiting below…
Will they turn back — or wobble their way across?
A fun, giggle-filled adventure about bravery, problem-solving, and backing yourself when things feel scary.

Perfect for kids aged 4–8 who love interactive stories, sound effects, and shouting advice at the speakers.
Pop on your hat and help Ruby cross the bridge.

Ruby is starting school. Which is exciting. And brave. And a little bit enormous.

Hat wants to come. But this is a school adventure Ruby has to do on her own.

So Ruby heads off with a wobbly tummy and a big deep breath and at school she meets someone very special: Mrs Hat — the Learning Hat.

Mrs Hat helps Ruby learn something very important: how to write her name. Not perfectly. But bravely.

When Ruby gets home, she can’t wait to tell Hat everything — about her first day and the Learning Hat who helped her find her brave.

This is a warm, funny, heart-full story about first days, growing up, and discovering you can do big things even when the people you love can’t come with you.

Perfect for little people starting school and the big people holding their hands.

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
