About this listen

Tonight’s Sleepytime Crew adventure stars Gus the Gorilla, who’s usually a pretty chilled kinda guy... until Pancake Day goes completely wrong.

When someone pushes in front of him in the line and nobody notices how upset he is, Gus tries so hard to hold all those BIG feelings in. But big feelings don’t like being pushed down or ignored, and before long, Gus lets out a roar so loud it shakes the Jungle Junction treetops.

Join Steph and the Sleepytime Crew as Gus learns that anger isn’t something to squash or hide or ignore - it’s something that he needs to move through. With help from his friend, Calmille the Chameleon, Gus discovers a powerful way to feel his feelings without blowing up, and finds out just how good it feels to let the storm pass through him.

This gentle, funny, and relatable story helps kids:
– Recognise the early signs of anger
– Understand the role of movement in calming down
– Learn a simple tool to help manage their anger (M.B.T!)
– Feel safe and seen in their big emotions

So snuggle in, take a deep breath, and let’s find out how Gus the Gorilla moves from meltdown... to mellow.

-----------------------------------------

Hi, I’m Steph — a mum to a sensitive little guy and an energy therapist who works with kids (as well as adults) and I know how important it is that every child feels safe, seen, and loved just as they are. I created Steph and the Sleepytime Crew to help kids wind down with stories that spark giggles, build confidence, and support emotional and social wellbeing — one bedtime at a time.

Thanks for listening and letting me and the Sleepytime Crew be part of your family’s night-time routine!
