The Book

Poor Avi avocado is an emotional mess.  He is always worrying about something.  His world consists of constant "what if's"! He is so consumed with his fears that he is often paralyzed and is afraid to attempt anything that may frighten him. 

One day his world changes.  He hears an unfamiliar sound outside of his window.  Whatever could it be?  THUMP! THUD!  He freezes and terror seizes the pit in his stomach.   Is Avi brave enough to find the source of these loud clunks?  The "what ifs" kick in and days pass by but Avi keeps thinking about the round and worrisome thing just outside his window.  

 FinallyAvi steels himself, fills himself with courage, and the mission to discover and solve the thudding sound puzzle begins.  Will he be successful? 

Luckily Avi is able to boost his self-confidence with the help of friends and he learns how to deal with his social anxiety that is consuming his life.  Determined...he vows no more self-pit-y-ing... he's  going to be an overcomer.  Good for him! 

This book when shared will spark conversations to help kids normalize  and manage anxiety.  It encourages kids to seek help from others around them.  "Avocado Feels a Pit Worried" empowers, inspires and teaches kids how to be achievers.  The story is not only engaging it is also educational.  The illustrations are wonderful and I highly recommend it.
