Are You Mad at Me? by Tyler Feder and Cody Feder - ADVISABLE

Are You Mad at Me? by Tyler Feder, illustrated by Cody Feder.  PICTURE BOOK.  Rocky Pond Books (Penguin Random House), 2023.  $19.  9780593615669

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Whenever Opal the Ostrich gets anxious, her neck gets wobbly like a noodle! She gets assigned a big task for the annual Feather Family party, and she gets “the noodles” all the way through the day. Will she be able to overcome her anxieties and get the job done?

A very cute story for anyone who has ever gotten nervous before (so, everyone). I think it would be especially helpful in talking about anxiety and mental health with littles. I really liked how Opal faced her fears head on, instead of letting them build up in her head.
