A funny picture book that gives anxious kids a proven, real-world method for facing their fears one brave step at a time
What if something goes wrong? What then? What's going to happen? Avi the avocado worries about everything, and when fear takes over, he does what a lot of kids do: he avoids. New situations, unfamiliar sounds, anything that feels scary gets added to the absolutely not list. But one day, a mysterious THUMP! THUMP! THUD! outside his kitchen window changes everything. Fear swells in the pit of his stomach, but for the first time, Avi asks himself a different question: what is the worst thing that could happen if I just try?
With the support of his friends and a whole lot of courage he didn't know he had, Avi begins facing the situations he once avoided, one small, brave step at a time. Kids will be rooting for him on every page, because they'll recognize their own worries in his. Avocado Feels a Pit Worried doesn't just tell kids to be brave. It introduces a real, proven method for managing social anxiety and avoidance in a story so fun and so relatable that children will want to read it over and over, picking up a little more courage each time.
