Welcome to the Whole Wilde World!
A book series that makes children feel healthy, safe, and strong.
Books for kids with food allergies. Books for kids with asthma. And that’s just the beginning. Here at Whole Wilde World Books, we create children’s picture books focused on kids’ health and well-being. While the Whole Wilde World book series addresses a range of topics, from chronic illnesses to food allergies, our mission remains the same: empower kids in their diagnoses, destigmatize health conditions, and promote inclusivity, safety, and empathy for all children.
Meet the Wildes
From the outside, the yellow house at the end of the lane seems perfectly ordinary. But this house is no ordinary house. And the people who live there – Doctors Walter and Paloma Wilde – are no ordinary doctors. Dr. Paloma Wilde runs a research laboratory in the attic. And Dr. Walter Wilde travels the world with his briefcase and magic compass, treating all sorts of animals, from cheetahs with asthma to squirrels with nut allergies.
