Tentacles in the deep end big.

About this episode

Ruby faces her fear of a Kraken in the pool and learns that bravery can mean taking things slow.

Ruby has a problem. A BIG one. Tentacles-in-the-deep-end big. Because there is obviously a Kraken living at the bottom of the pool. Obviously. So while other kids are happily splashing around, Ruby is staying exactly where she is thank you very much: the safe end. The definitely-no-sea-monsters end. But Hat has a different idea. Suddenly the pool becomes a wild ocean and one extremely dramatic imaginary Kraken. And somewhere between the shallow end and the deep end, Ruby discovers something sneaky about bravery: you do not have to leap. Sometimes brave looks like going slow.
