Big Feelings, Little Hearts, Endless Wonder
The Wonderfield Friends is a heartwarming children’s book series that helps kids understand emotions, build empathy, and develop social-emotional learning skills in a calm, supportive way. Each story follows a group of lovable friends — Ellie, Toby, Lila, Sunny, Simon, Cora, and Pip — as they explore big feelings, friendship, and self-regulation with the gentle guidance of their teacher, Miss Maple.
These neurodiversity-affirming picture books are designed for children ages 3–7, blending emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and storytelling to help every kind of mind feel seen, safe, and understood.
A Unique Visual Experience for Neurodiverse Learners
At Wonderfield Press, every page is crafted to spark curiosity and comfort at the same time.
Our books are designed especially for neurodiverse readers, children who experience the world through sound, color, rhythm, and feeling.
Each Wonderfield Friends story features vibrant, expressive 3D characters set against soft watercolor backgrounds, drawing children’s focus toward the warmth of facial expressions and emotions rather than overwhelming detail. This contrast of lively characters and gentle worlds helps children — especially autistic and sensory-sensitive learners — practice emotional recognition, empathy, and visual calm in a safe, engaging way.
While many children’s books use soft, minimalist art, Wonderfield Friends embraces rich, sensory-aware design that mirrors how many neurodivergent kids experience the world: noticing every detail, feeling deeply, and finding peace through pattern and connection.
By blending vivid illustrations with emotional clarity, each book becomes a visual journey that celebrates every kind of mind — not by quieting their world, but by helping them navigate it.
Because in Wonderfield, every way of seeing, and listening, is wonderful.
Stories Rooted in Emotional Science
Every book in the series is built on social-emotional learning (SEL) and co-regulation principles, helping kids:
- Recognize, name, and manage emotions
- Practice mindfulness and breathing for calm
- Develop empathy, patience, and sharing skills
- Strengthen friendships and communication
Through thoughtful pacing and emotionally affirming language, Wonderfield Friends supports both neurotypical and neurodivergent children in understanding their feelings — and others’.
