With 60+ definitions to help improve emotional literacy. This HUGE hardcover book with over 140 pages, is all about our children learning to recognise and label emotions and feelings.

Join Aroha and her friends as they share how different emotions might feel in the body and how each emotion might be helpful. This emotions dictionary is all about helping children find the words for how they truly feel. Learning to recognise and label our emotions correctly is such an important skill for life. 

Giving our children this language helps to build emotional literacy. It is a gift to give children the tools to know how to recognise what they truly feel and that is it okay to feel all emotions. When they know that no emotion is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and that all emotions provide messages, then it takes away any attachment to that emotion being part of who they are.

We may have experienced this ourselves being labelled ‘naughty’ or ‘out of control’ due to feeling angry a lot. However, this behaviour is just a way for a child to communicate. Diving deeper into why they are acting that way, why they may be feeling the things they are, can help us find some answers with our child. It can also help us find ways to help them empower themselves with tools to feel better.

Use this book to start conversations about different emotions. If you can, give examples of things you have experienced. When you see a child experiencing an emotion, help your child label it. “Are you feeling ... right now?”

This book can be used with children from 5 years of age up to 100+ as everyone might get something from the book. 

There are over 200 emotions and so we couldn't include them all in just one book, however, this book is the most extensive book about emotions for children.

We all experience emotions. Big ones, small ones, joyous one and uncomfortable ones. Each emotion is simply energy that travels through us. When they do, they are trying to give us a message to help us. Never feel bad about experiencing an emotion. All emotions are healthy and normal. It is what you do with the emotions that is important. You can learn more about yourself and what you need through the messages that emotions provide us.

When an emotion comes to visit us, sometimes it can feel overwhelming. Certain emotions can make us react in ways that we might regret. We might say something we don’t mean. We might lash out at someone when we don’t actually want to hurt them. Sometimes they bubble up and can feel like they are about to burst out of us. It can be hard to know what to do when we are feeling intense emotions inside. This is why it is a great idea to learn ways to release emotions safely from our bodies, so we don’t end up hurting ourselves or others.

Emotions are energy that flows into our bodies and should flow back out again. This book is all about ways to allow emotional energy to flow out in healthy and safe ways that you can try. See which ones you like best and work for you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "As a parent educator I am always looking for tools and ideas that can help parents and kids with understanding and accepting big feelings. I absolutely adore this book and would recommend it to any parent looking to increase their child’s and their own vocabulary around emotions and in turn resilience in the face of challenging times. This is one of the biggest gifts we can give to our kids, and this book is a fantastic way to give kids resources and ideas for managing their feelings. It just might even help us as adults too!” - Genevieve Muir, Connected Parenting

NEW BOOK - COMING mid-OCTOBER 2023! Pre-order to ensure you receive a copy from our first shipment in time for Christmas!

We can all have down days when we just aren’t happy, and it can be difficult to think of good things. These days are important because without them, we wouldn’t appreciate the good days as much. However, if we are having lots of down days and they don’t go away, or lots of days filled with negative thoughts in our head, that is when we need to get to work making new pathways that will leave us feeling better.

As Aroha says, ‘Thoughts are not facts, they are just words in my head.’

This book is all about showing how we can affect how we feel, and ultimately the life we live, by becoming aware of our thoughts and changing them if we need to. This book I wrote for my youngest son who tends to think more pessimistically, to help him understand that our thoughts are powerful and can leave us feeling great or terrible. I wanted him to understand that HE has the power to change his thoughts. This is something I wished I learned at a much younger age.

This is a powerful and complex topic that we recommend for kids aged eight years through to teens, and perfect for a lot of us adults too.

I had to build new pathways when I was a young adult. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but also one of the most important. I had used my unhelpful and harmful pathways for a long time. My days were filled with negative thoughts and there wasn’t any happiness. But a very special lady call Trish helped me change that. Slowly, bit by bit, I built new tracks that led me to the wonderful life I have now. (I am so lucky to make books to help share all the things I learned.) It changed my life from emptiness and despair to hope and contentment, from darkness to light.

Our brains are like supercomputers that help us make sense of the world we live in. They help us think, learn, and do all sorts of amazing things. In this story, Aroha learns that she can create pathways in her brain to lead her to different outcomes. It is all about what thoughts she chooses to focus on. The more we practise noticing our thoughts and ensuring we have plenty of good ones, the stronger these pathways will become. Pathways that we create using good thoughts will lead us to a happier and more content life.

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Aroha’s Choice supports children (and adults) to understand how our neural pathways can create automatic ways of thinking and behaving. It beautifully explains that if our thinking is holding us back, we have the power and capacity to reform it in ways that uncover our strengths and develop our self-confidence. I would love a world where children recognise when their thinking needs to shift from disempowered to empowered, and they knew how to do it. This book is an inspirational start.” – Anna Mowat has a background in psychology, and as director of Real Collective, she works across many national projects that support children’s wellbeing.

Here are just a few reviews:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My five-year-old boy enjoyed the book upon first reading. The next day, I found him reading the book by himself during a stressful moment: "I'm looking for one of Aroha's Ways to calm myself, Mum." Clearly, the message got through. Thank you!” Paula

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “A beautiful, precious book, easy to follow and written in a way that is understandable and relatable. My 3 almost 4-year-old moko enjoyed it, and it created further kōrero and questions between us. I wish there were books like this when we were growing up!” Keriana

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My 7-yr old struggles with anxiety - so much so that it affects her breathing every time she gets slightly stressed. We had previously tried talking it through and belly breathing exercises. But it took this book - and Aroha showing her the way - before she really opened up and practiced these techniques. The book is such a beautifully written and illustrated piece - it's easy for both of us to read. The notes at the back really got the conversation flowing too. Thank you for this book. I was finding it difficult to get through to my daughter. Obviously she needed to see it through Aroha's eyes first to normalise her own emotions.” Kim

About the book:

Come along on a journey with Aroha, as she wards off nervousness, fear, worrying thoughts and apprehension, with simple, yet effective tools that everyone can use.

From award-winning New Zealand author and illustrator, Craig Phillips, creator of
The Adventures of Jack Scratch and Giants, Trolls, Witches, Beasts (winner of the Russell Clark Award for Illustration at the New Zealand Book Awards 2018).

“Aroha’s Way is a beautiful, descriptive and relatable book – an important book – helping children to normalise, understand and even develop their own tools for dealing with their feelings.” – Jenny Palmer, Author of Feel a Little.

This beautiful picture books takes children on a journey through emotions associated with anxiety and shows simple yet effective ways to help manage them.  Aroha shows children a tool that she uses for each emotion which includes; movement or exercise, belly breathing or diaphragmatic breathing, mindfulness and connecting with others and sharing our worries.

At the back of the book, there is a section for parents and/or teachers to explore the tools in more depth.  This section expands on the beautiful poem and opens up conversations with our children.  Asking questions around those emotions to make it easier for children to recognise the emotion, and then a simple way to manage it.

At Wildling Books we believe these tools will be invaluable for children and can be used for a lifetime.

We would like to give a big THANK YOU to Like Minds, Like Mine in helping to make this book possible.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jimi Hunt - "In order to change our culture of greatly increasing mental illness, we need to tell stories ... this is one of those stories.  Beautifully told and illustrated, it is another tool in the education of our young people in how to deal with emotions and increase their mental fitness."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr Suzanne Henwood, mBraining4Success - "This is a beautifully illustrated and cleverly written book to help children find a way back to calm."

My Aroha Tree helps children create a habit of noticing what is good in their world. This daily habit can strengthen pathways in your child’s brain that help them focus on the good in each and every day. This can help them through the difficult times when their days feel cloudy or cold.

My Aroha Tree contains a stunning A1 poster of a beautiful kōwhai tree, which includes, ‘Lessons from a Tree’ on it. The tree is a reminder that nature is a wonderful teacher. Also included is a sticker book filled with beautiful birds, insects and words to help children think about what they love, what they are grateful for and what fills them with joy. They can add a few stickers to the tree each day, which will help them to build a positive mindset. Aroha is there, under the tree, waiting to see what your child will create. Aroha is from the best-selling series of children’s books which focus on emotions and well-being.

There are 15 picture stickers on each page, as well as 10 words/notes, and there are a total of 12 pages of stickers in the book. We would hope that the daily practice could last at least a month.

Please note that the poster is folded and included in envelope with sticker book.

RECLAIMING COMICS FOR KIDS… 

Written and illustrated by Craig Phillips, this is the first in The Adventures of Jack Scratch series of comics about a pirate cat.

Craig Phillips is a professional illustrator, working for publishers all around the world from his studio by the shores of beautiful Lake Taupo in New Zealand.

He has created many book covers for popular children’s and young adult books, as well as rock posters for bands such as Queens of the Stone Age, Red Hot Chili Peppers, DJ Shadow and the Foo Fighters.

Craig recently retold and illustrated ‘Giants, Trolls, Witches, Beasts’ a graphic anthology of world tales.

Several years ago Craig’s daughter asked him to make a book just for her. When he asked her what she’d like it to be about she said “cats!”, then “pirates!” and then, “pirate-cats!” and so Jack Scratch was born and developed over many meal times and deep discussions about all the types of things pirate-cats might get up to.

So, if you have a child that likes cats or pirates or pirate-cats, then they will love this book!

This is the first book in the series and helps to establish some of the main characters that will carry through in the following books. The second book ‘The Curse of the Kraken!’ is already well underway.
