Pickles the Pup: A Story about ARFID

By Ana Silva

Too crunchy Too mushy Too gooey Too green
Even the yummiest meals make him want to hide.
Pickles isn't being picky, he's feeling scared. With patience, love, and the help of a therapist named Dr. Paws, Pickles the Pup and his family learn about ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) and discover that bravery comes in small, sniff-sized steps.
Told in playful rhyme and full of heart, this story helps kids, caregivers, and therapists navigate food fears with kindness, understanding, and hope.
