This board book is a simplified version from the best-selling book, How Do I Feel? A Dictionary of Emotions for Children. It helps to introduce our little wildlings to emotions and how they might look, using other toddlers so they can recognise themselves in the illustrations, which is very important.

When we help young children label their emotions, it helps them to understand and manage what they are feeling and to improve their emotional literacy as they grow.

When big emotions come to visit, use the simple belly-breathing tool at the back to help your child find their way back to calm. This is a simple yet effective tool in helping children manage big emotions. Used regularly it can really help a child to learn to manage and regulate their own emotions over time.

The board book covers just ten emotions, we picked the ones that toddlers might experience and resonate with, and they are:

I feel ...

Silly, Angry, Curious, Sad, Excited, Scared, Happy, Frustrated, Shy, Confused, Loved

The last page covers a simple way to blow big emotions away with deep breathing.

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.

Another stunning picture book with a new technique from the Wildling crew to help younger children find calm through the rollercoaster of emotions they can experience.

Teaching children mindfulness through the senses at a young age can help them build confidence, learn to cope with stress and realise they can overcome challenging moments in their life.

The fun ‘Five, Four, Three, Two, One’ rhyme is an easy way for children to remember to use their senses to find their way back to calm.

Empowering parents and teaching children ways to cope with their big feelings, this is a gorgeous book with a powerful and grounding message for our wee ones. As a mental health advocate and a māmā, one of my aims is to help children to identify emotions and learn ways to manage them; this book does just that.” – Rebekah Ballagh, counsellor, author and illustrator, Journey to Wellness.

Storylines Notable Books 2021 - Non-Fiction Winner

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 hope through our series of Aroha books, we can help to start conversations around emotions, promote emotional regulation and expand emotional literacy. This wasn't something that was taught to us when we were small, and so, our books are as much for the big wildlings as they are for the little ones.

Together, we can learn to manage our emotions in safe and healthy ways, keeping a strong line of love and connection between adult and child.

Here are just a few of the 5-star reviews:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Actually I bought Aroha knows, Aroha's way, and Let it go - three children's picture books about dealing with emotions. I think they are an excellent resource for talking to children about how to manage strong and painful emotions. It was the first time I bought something from an add on facebook, and this purchase was a good one." Elisabeth

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I’m a leader of emotional intelligence literacy at my school and I bought this book for my own children,5 and 3. It’s so powerful. I love the practical strategies it teaches my young kids when they notice the emotions in the story." Kymberly
