🔍 Big Feelings Become Tiny Mysteries!

Welcome to Riley's Daycare Detectives, a spinoff mystery series for ages 4–7. At daycare, when something goes missing, it usually means a big feeling is hiding nearby.

Meet Riley (Raven's little sister), the lead detective with a heart of gold. Along with her friends Pip, Biscuit, and Mina, she solves tiny mysteries using three clues and one simple "feelings tool." Each story helps kids learn about empathy, problem-solving, and how to repair friendships—one clue at a time.


"Detective time! Let's look for clues."
