Avocado longs to be Today's Special in this vibrant, pun-filled
picture book by Chana Stiefel and Anna Süßbauer about self-discovery and
the value of uplifting your friends.
Avocado wants to stand out, but nothing seems to be working. With the
help of her friends, she self-reflects and discovers that all along she
was special. This social emotional learning story will help young
readers to develop relationship skills and self-awareness. Perfect for
fans of Dragons Love Tacos and The Food Group stories.
It's a delightful day at the Farmer's Market. Zesty limes! Juicy
peaches! Sweet corn! But Avocado has a pit in her stomach. She longs to
be Today's Special.
Strolling through the aisles, Avocado asks her farm-fresh friends to
help her discover what makes her stand out. Tomato offers to teach her
salsa. Pumpkin proposes funny faces. Garlic suggests she add some zing!
Nothing seems to work until--Ding ding!--the bright and shiny Toaster
inspires Avocado to reflect more deeply.
Chana Stiefel's heartwarming text blends with Anna Süßbauer's
eye-popping illustrations spark sweet and meaningful conversations about
self-discovery and friendship.
