Taco Falls Apart
From the Series Food for Thought
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.
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.
