A very nervous ostrich pushes past her anxiety in this funny, endearing picture book by the author/illustrator of Bodies Are Cool (co-written with her sister).
When Opal the ostrich is anxious, her neck feels as wobbly as a spaghetti noodle. Her family lovingly calls this "The Noodles," and tries their best to help. But it's not easy to calm down when you're a worrier like Opal-especially when you're worrying about somebody else's opinion of you.
Now it's the day of her family's annual party, and Opal is in charge of picking up the triple-layer-double-custard-beet-and-berry tart from the bakery-a big responsibility! What if she does something wrong? What if somebody gets mad at her? Opal is having a serious case of the Noodles.
This light-hearted take on social anxiety is just the right amount silly and sweet-perfect for young children and anyone else who has ever gotten The Noodles.
