Avocado Magic is a wonderful little picture book. The gorgeous illustrations really elevate the story, which is about a little girl being taught how to grow an avocado tree. She gets frustrated by the lack of visible growth, but learns to be patient through the book. The book has a cyclical nature and an occasional rhyme when the father was speaking, which brought more depth to the text. Thanks to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for the advanced ebook.

Super cute story about how things change and grow slowly. Ellie is upset after having her birthday and feeling like she hadn’t grown. Dad told her she was like an avocado seed, “small but full of magic”. Love this line- No need to rush - sometimes we aren’t even aware we’re growing, learning and changing. Love the gentle reminders in this book.

As a kindergarten teacher - I know all students come to me at different levels of development and they learn differently. This is a great reminder that they are all full of magic. Can’t wait to get a copy and read this to my students.

Thank you NetGalley and NorthSouth Books fir an advance digital copy.

had so much fun reading this book, the story is so adorable and the illustrations were so well done and charming, there’s so many little details in every page that I couldn’t stop but be mesmerized by it all. I will definitely be recommending it! Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this early copy

Loved the concept of growing slowly, and to not be in a hurry to grow up, but enjoy life and to see the magic that’s happens before your eyes. Loved the beautiful illustrations.
Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book.

Avocado Magic is a wonderful book to share with young ones who feel that they are falling behind in any area of their life. The message provided by Levi is that everyone reaches their potential at the proper time. A beautiful message. You also learn how to grow an avocado tree from a seed.

A big thank you goes out to NetGalley for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Avocado Magic by Taltal Levi. I'm always looking for great children's books to recommend to friends and family with little ones, so I was excited to read this book and will definitely be recommending it.

I love that Avocado Magic by Taltal Levi helps kids understand that all things come in time with a little patience. Another thing that I liked about the story is it shows a family that has its own traditions like having birthdays under their avocado tree . . . a tradition that is shown to continue when the child starts their own family.

Five out of five stars is what I gave Avocado Magic by Taltal Levi. Even though I am an adult, I enjoyed this picture book, and I know I would have absolutely loved it as a little kid. This is a definite read for kids between the ages of three and five.

Oh my goodness, talk about magic! Taltal Levi has crafted such an adorable and important book, enjoyable to all ages. The illustrations are beautiful, and the message and story of Ellie's lesson is one that everyone can learn from.

Thank you NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for accepting my request to read and review Avocado Magic.

Muted illustrations consistent with the coloring of an avocado are seen. The story references growth. The author has shared the process of growing an avocado from seed, successfully.

This is a nice story with several parental teaching opportunities. I would gift this as a family gift.

Beautifully illustrated and has a great message about believing in yourself. I received an advance review copy for free via Netgalley and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

"Avocado Magic" by Taltal Levi is a heartwarming story about a young girl named Ellie who is a bit disappointed that she didn't grow taller on her birthday. Her dad comforts her with a lovely comparison – she's like an avocado pit, small but full of magic. They decide to plant an avocado seed together, and as it grows, both Ellie and the little avocado tree go through a journey of change and life.

The warm, earthy colors in the book make the story feel personal and relatable. It's not just about growing plants; it's a tale about patience and the wonder of watching something grow from the very beginning. Plus, there are even instructions for kids to grow their own avocado tree, making this book not only charming but also educational. "Avocado Magic" is a great addition to any child's book collection, offering a mix of magic and a valuable lesson in growth and patience.

A simple, sweet picture book about a girl eager to grow up - and to see her avocado seed grow. The pictures are full of joy, just like the joyful activities Ellie shares with the avocado seed that doesn't grow nearly as quickly as she'd like. It's the simple, gentle, colorful illustrations that keep this story from being overly sentimental. A story meant for sharing that's sure to lead to many new avocado trees being planted.

The main character in this story wants to grow and is frustrated. Her dad relates her growth to an avocado seed. She nurtures the seed and helps it grow, and she in turn grows herself.

Avocado Magic" by Taltal Levi is a charming tale that captivates with its delightful illustrations. The imagery throughout the book was pretty good, adding an enchanting dimension to the story. The narrative centered around Ellie, who was raised by her dad, and how he introduced her to the magical world of avocados. It's a heartwarming and imaginative tale that's sure to delight readers of all ages. Levi's storytelling and the artwork truly bring out the enchantment of avocados in a unique way.

Thank you to @netgalley and the publisher for this free eARC in exchange for my honest review.

I loved this little book, read it to my older daughter who's 7 and it came in just the right time. Today's life is so fast paced and everyone is always in a hurry - but there's no reason for it honestly!!
So little children just remember-when you wish you're all grown up right now - patience-you'll long for these sweet, innocent, worry-free time when you get older...
"You are like an avocado seed: small but full of magic"

This was cute, a very educational story about patience and growth following the lifespan of an avocado.

Ellie has just had another birthday, and is upset that she isn't seeing her own growth happening overnight. Her father tells her that she is like an avocado seed, and that growth takes time. As the years go by and the avocado tree matures, so does Ellie. She takes it with her to college, and then to her new home with her husband. Pretty soon, she has her own son to tell about the magic of the avocado seed.

Cute story with colorful illustrations. Message of patience and time to grow. Follow along as Ellie grows right along her avocado seed. Bonus is information on growing an avocado tree from seed.

I really loved the premise of this book and I think it teaches a great lesson about growing at your own pace, and that the magic is within you always!. The artwork was absolutely beautiful, and I'm honored I was able to read and review this!

Fun, colorful illustrations about a girl and her avocado plant and the changes they both experience as they grow up and leave home.
The family is traditional mom/dad daughter and extended family.
There are instructions at the end for how to start your own avocado plant from seed, so you better have an avocado pit handy!

"Avocado Magic" is a beautifully written and illustrated book that teaches kids patience and appreciation of the growing process (plant and their own). Looking forward to sharing this read with my class.
