ABOUT US

We want to see every child empowered, every child loved, and lives transformed! This is not just our vision; this is the heartbeat of our company.

More and more children are suffering high levels of anxiety and a range of emotions that are impacting them across all areas of their life. Now, more than ever, our children need strong social and emotional support that will help them develop a healthy relationship with their emotions, themselves and each other.

As parents and carers, we can’t always be there to support our children in times of need, but we can put tools and support strategies in place to equip and empower them. Whenever you can’t be with your child, the words you have spoken to them will be – this is something we should all remember. Often we think there’s not much we can do, but our words hold so much weight.

Positive words equip our children to think positively and to thrive. This is why repetitive positive comments and statements that empower and uplift our children are so important, and this is exactly why we have developed our first series of Wonderful Me Books;

  • The Hug,
  • The Truth About You,
  • Be Someone,
  • Have You Ever? and,
  • You Were Once the Size of a Plum

The heart of Wonderful Me is to support each child to have a strong inner-voice that tells them, without hesitation “You ARE worth it... You ARE Wonderful!”

Our Story

Wonderful Me was officially birthed in 2017 when we released our first book The Hug. The Hug was written after the author, Kirilee Furlong, saw a real need for children to be equipped to self-comfort and be reminded of their worth & uniqueness.

From there, Kirilee and Angela (the two women behind Wonderful Me) continued to work in their career roles until late 2020 when both ladies decided to change career direction and give 100% of their work-time and attention to Wonderful Me.

Wonderful Me is more than a passion project for Angela and Kirilee. They have seen first hand the desperate need for early intervention and support in the area of social and emotional literacy. So many children are struggling in the areas of emotional, mental and social wellbeing, and with the impact the COVID-19 pandemic and the flow-on of consequences has had on our children over the past four years, our children need more support than ever. 

We believe every single child deserves to be given the best opportunity to develop a healthy and strong EQ (Emotional Intelligence). As studies show, it is EQ not IQ that becomes the determining factor to our success in life as adults. 

We live in an age where there is higher focus on the diet that our children are consuming, but there is little focus on the child's "emotional diet." If early intervention is not provided to our children in the areas of emotional and mental wellbeing, our children are, quite simply, not being given the opportunities they deserve. 

Since 2020, Kirilee and Angela have had countless conversations, heard beautiful testimonies and seen first hand the positive impact that the Wonderful Me and WorryWoo ranges have had and continue to have in children's lives across Australia. From pre-school to pre-teen, toddlers to grandparents, teachers, educators, speech pathologists, OT's, psychologists and more... these resources have provided support, education and guidance when and where children needed it most.

We know and believe, that Wonderful Me will continue to impact and change children's lives across our country.... and one day, these children will grow up and become our innovators and leaders. We smile knowing how much better equipped they will be because a teacher, parent or carer took the time to invest into their emotional, social and mental wellbeing (and perhaps at the same time, the adults also gained a deeper understanding of their own self worth and emotions too - which we have heard in our testimonies countless times). So thank you to you, because if you are reading this right now, there is a good chance that you have contributed to this and made a child's future much brighter... and this is quite simply, just so wonderful!
