Bobbi and Little Dolly head off on an adventure to the beach, picking up their friends, Lisa and Loris, along the way. What adventures and mishaps await them? And how will they feel when all is said and done?

Welcome to the world of Bobbi and Friends where teddies and dolls come to life through the creative expression of Brooke Hilder, and Brooke steps into the role of Bobbi, a young, bubbly individual with a great love for children and overflowing enthusiasm for life itself!

Brooke's creation of her act Bobbi and Friends: Journey to the Beach! is a tale that teaches young children that life is about the journey, and who you share it with, not the destination.

It aims to not only encourage children deeply into a world of imagination and play, but to foster emotional intelligence, and inspire children to spread love and kindness.

Bobbi and Friends offers a gentle, engaging way for children to learn and develop through meaningful play-based experiences and I am incredibly excited to be sharing them with the community in my debut performance at the Village Puppet Festival Maleny, organised by Little Big World Puppet Company.
