All of Ava's classmates seem to excel at many things... especially cartwheels! Ava is not so good at cartwheels, and after many attempts - and just as many tumbles - she feels sad. But with a little encouragement from her mom, Ava makes an exciting discovery. Though she may be unable to do some things, she has countless other talents. And they should all be celebrated! But What Can You Do? is a charming, relatable story with an important message about perseverance, self-awareness, and positive self-talk.

Ava + Mommy Publishing writes children's books focused on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) to teach kids with big feelings, in Pre-K through 3rd grade, key tools like positive self-talk, perseverance, and self-awareness to solve problems. We are rooted in encouraging parents, caregivers, and education professionals to teach kids how to celebrate their small wins while embracing a growth mindset to help them accomplish their future goals. We hope that when kids read an Ava + Mommy book, like But What Can You Do?, they'll be reminded of all the tools they already have and be inspired to learn more tools to help them grow emotionally.
