Read this story and watch a confused avocado figure out what career would make them happy while viewing amusing and colorful illustrations!
Pablo Avocado dreams of changing the world… the world of fashion! Before he can follow his dreams, he has some big feelings to talk through. His journey of self-discovery brings him to you, a highly-celebrated produce therapist. Thanks to years of experience in the field, you know that the best way to help is by offering a listening ear and a safe place for him to share his story.
Pablo Avocado is in desperate need of plant-based guidance. It's time for him to "ripen," meaning to find his path in life, but the avocado has no idea which "road to take." Plus, he's questioning his identity. Is he a fruit or a vegetable? Children might be confused, too, with good reason. Botanists classify avocados as fruits; meanwhile, the USDA considers them a vegetable partly due to their nutritional value and culinary purposes.
During the one-sided therapy session, Pablo Avocado unveils an avocado's limited life choices. I cackled, watching his father salsa dance with a ripe tomato. His pirate grandfather sailing across the 7-layer dip was also amusing. The illustration for Pablo's great-grandfather was cute and funny, making me smile from ear to ear. Families will love his festive hat, mustache, sarape (blanket-style shawl), and "guaca-mole."
Families will continue to laugh as they watch Pablo's job choice come alive. Without giving away spoilers, I will drop a few hints. Pablo makes sure every fruit and vegetable is looking their best.
Pablo Avocado questions who they are and their place in the world. The uncertainty prompted a visit to a produce therapist. Through the session, Pablo realized what path would make them happy. This is what we should encourage all our children to do! Follow your heart, and don't hesitate to seek guidance. We should also make children understand it's okay if you don't have it all figured out now. Many adults still can't answer the very question we ask our kids: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Read this story (written by Michael Michie) and watch a confused avocado figure out what career would make them happy while viewing amusing and colorful illustrations (artist: Reka Kadar)!
I recommend sharing this pun-tastic picture book with children two years and older.
