The Watermelon Seed

The Watermelon Seed by Greg Pizzoli is a delightful picture book that humorously explores a common childhood fear.

He imagines all sorts of wild scenarios, such as vines sprouting from his ears or his skin turning pink. Through bold illustrations and a playful narrative, Pizzoli addresses the anxieties children often feel about the unknown, offering reassurance and laughter along the way. This book is a perfect read-aloud for young children and a great conversation starter about facing fears.
