The Wiggles McGee book series was created with one wiggly goal in mind: to help children—and their grown-ups—navigate big feelings with empathy, humor, and heart. Through playful storytelling and lovable characters, these books invite young readers to explore emotional ups and downs in a way that feels safe and doable. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about learning how to pause, notice, and choose better, one moment at a time. With each story, Wiggles McGee and I aim to make emotional literacy as accessible as a bedtime story and as memorable as a belly laugh.

Rooted in childhood trauma prevention, the Wiggles McGee series is backed by the wisdom of Polyvagal Theory, the brilliance of somatic “body based” practices, and the magic of building a healthy “window of tolerance.” The stories subtly teach grown ups and children nervous system regulation—without ever sounding like a textbook. Children learn what it feels like to be in fight, flight, or freeze through Wiggles’ own experiences, and are gently guided back into connection, self trust, curiosity, and calm. By modeling somatic awareness and co-regulation, the books plant the seeds of resilience and help children build emotional strength from the inside out.

Inspired by the ancient Zoroastrian principle of Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds, the Wiggles McGee series gives children a simple, magical mantra to guide their daily choices. These timeless values are more than just words—they’re a way of being. The books gently teach that kindness isn’t just something we extend to others; it starts with HOW WE TREAT OURSELVES. When children learn to speak kindly to themselves, make thoughtful choices, and act with care, that inner goodness naturally ripples out into the world. By blending this cultural wisdom into a modern, playful format, Wiggles McGee helps raise children who are not only emotionally intelligent—but also deeply kind, from the inside out.
