Your daily kids news podcast.

Saving Timmy the whale; Japan’s big bear problem; Fiji’s cyclone-predicting bees; and Baby Yoda’s big debut.

A humpback whale named Timmy got stuck near Germany—uh oh! But a team of helpers dug a channel and used a giant floating barge to guide him back to sea.

In Japan, bears are waking up from winter naps—and heading closer to towns! People are carrying bells to stay safe, while hoping there’s enough food in the forests to keep the bears happy (and away from humans).

In Fiji, bees might be better than weather apps! When they build hives close to the ground, it’s a sign a cyclone could be coming.

It’s Star Wars Day—May the Fourth be with you! Fans are celebrating, and adorable Grogu (aka Baby Yoda) is heading to cinemas in a new movie.
