The Wild Things of Now
Max’s room is quiet—but his mind is loud.
With the world outside calling and his phone buzzing with distractions, Max feels lost in a storm of emotions, screens, and noise. That’s when the wild things arrive—not monsters, but living creatures made from his feelings: happiness that spins too fast, distractions that never stop, and a constant buzz that won’t let him think.
As Max journeys through this world of wild things, he faces the chaos of digital overload, the pull of endless scrolling, and the deep desire for something real. But the only way to find peace is to stop running—and learn to listen.
In this vivid, imaginative story, readers will explore emotional awareness, mindfulness, and the importance of unplugging to reconnect with what truly matters. The Wild Things of Now is a timely adventure for today’s kids—helping them understand their inner world, embrace their feelings, and find balance in a screen-filled world.
