Ellie is the star of the show! 

Sometimes shy but always fun and friendly, Ellie has a big heart and lots of friends, but sometimes lacks the confidence to try new things. With the support of her friends and a healthy dose of self-belief, she's able to tackle any challenges that come her way. 

Patrick the Pig

Patrick is the ultimate cheerleader. Always encouraging Ellie to step out of her comfort zone, from signing Ellie up for gymnastics to conquering the monkey bars, Patrick is always there by Ellie's side, even when things get tough. He shows Ellie the power of perseverance, believing in herself, and never giving up. 

Tristan the Tiger

Gertrude the Gorilla

Tristan is one of those wonderfully supportive friends, always helping to build Ellie's confidence. While Ellie can't always jump as high as Tristan, or run as fast, Tristan is always there to cheer on his friend, encouraging her to always keep trying. 

Gertrude the Gorilla

Gertrude is the teacher we all want! Welcoming, supportive, and inspiring, she helps to soothe Ellie's fears when she joins her gymnastics class for the first time, and encourages her to try her best and importantly, to have fun!
