Taco Falls Apart gets kids thinking about how their thoughts shape
feelings and behavior. Friendly and funny, this evidence-based
science-informed book skillfully presents a fundamental concept of
cognitive-behavior psychology in a way kids can understand — how
the interplay between thoughts, feelings, and behavior shape who we
are and how we experience everything. Meet Taco. The world expects
so much from him... tacos must stay strong without much
support, tacos must stay open without much room, and tacos must
keep it all together, all the time! With all these expectations
piling on, Taco starts wonder if he has what it takes to be a
terrific taco. Can he even do this? Should he even try? As his
thoughts start to pester him, Taco's shell starts to crack and his
toppings begin to tumble, and Taco falls apart! Fantastically
foodie and pun-fully delicious, this book is bound to help little
ones understand common thinking mistakes and how unhelpful
self-talk can get in the way of feeling strong and confident and
able to get through rough spots in their day.Â

enough for family's reading, classroom or school counselor

that he once avoided. Avi's confidence builds, bolstered by the
support of friends and energized by a proven method for dealing
with social anxiety, Avi takes the plunge and faces his fears head
on!
