SEL Children’s Book Series
The Wild Monkey Brothers: Milo and Jax’s Everyday Adventure
A story that helps children feel seen — and helps adults lead with empathy.
At Youth Way International, our work centers youth voice, trauma-informed care, and human-centered systems. My children’s book, The Wild Monkey Brothers: Milo and Jax’s Everyday Adventure, is a natural extension of that mission — turning big concepts like neurodiversity, empathy, and emotional regulation into a story kids can understand and adults can use.
About the book:
Meet Milo and Jax — two monkey brothers who experience the world differently. Milo prefers a slower, quieter pace, while Jax is always on the move. Through everyday moments, loving support, and small adjustments, they learn how to navigate challenges together.
This book is designed to spark meaningful conversations that remind children:
differences don’t divide us — they make us wonderfully unique.
