The Falafel Who Felt Awful

By Alan Silberberg

Fans of Jory John will love this rollicking tale of a falafel who feels icky and will try ANYTHING to feel better

Do you ever have those days where everything is just awful? Falafel knows that feeling all too well. So the Grape Leaves suggest he go dancing. That always makes them feel better--maybe it will help him, too? No luck. What about zippy-dippy rides with the Pickles? Nope. Or even seeing a doctor, like the Pomegranates suggest Nada. How will he ever stop feeling so awfully AWFUL?

In this hilarious tale packed with very real emotions, young readers will learn that everyone has their own way to handle a case of the awfuls. And sometimes talking about those feelings is the first step to making even the ickiest, prickliest problem . . . a little less awful.
