The We Are Wild series includes We are Wild Ones and We are Wild Too! This is the first book in the series, which explores the basic early emotions of fear, anger, happiness and sadness. The books are structured to provide a safe, playful way to think about and talk about emotions through fun, relateable characters like Scared Shark, Happy Hippo, Sad Snake and Angry Ant. Each story introduces the emotion, provides a context for why it occurs and provides simple strategies and healthy expressions. Caregivers and parents are supported with evidence-based strategies and ideas for fun activities in the strategy page section related to each emotion. Six strategy ideas are provided for each emotion. These are:

• In the moment, for ideas to use when strong emotions are present

• Look Inward, for mindful ways to build self-awareness of emotions and feelings

• Look Outward, to encourage observational learning by directing attention to others

• Get Moving, for movement activities that help to regulate and increase awareness

• Teach it, for ideas to explicitly teach children about emotions

• Make a Plan, to support kids in problem-solving and creating their own solutions
