BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

When a young boy leaves his worries behind, and then soon, left his doubts behind as well. When he comes across a challenge his had failed before, he decides to leave his fears behind and try again, but he finds he carrying one more load - frustration. We have a choice to not carry these burdens.

Wow, I loved the message so much. It was a bit alarming when the boy splatted after a dive into a pool (he appeared to be ok). AJ and I had a nice discussion while reading this story, and the darling illustrations, which personify the burdens, make the concepts easy to explain and talk about.
