A charming and heartfelt picture book that' s a great way to start a conversation about anxiety and mental health with readers a few generations old or fresh off the assembly line! Meet 3. 14159265358979323846264338327950 . . . Or Pi, for short. Pi' s just like any other kid robot: They love to listen to music, play with their dog, and hang out with their friends. And when their teacher announces a field trip to Olde Silicon Valley, Pi couldn' t be more excited! They daydream of all the awesome things they want to see and do there--but also begin to worry about all the things that could go wrong . . . Then, on the way home, Pi feels a ZAP! They try to avoid the strange feeling, but the Zaps keep happening. Pi doesn' t understand. They have a firewall installed! What could be going on? A tale with equal parts humor and heart, A Case of the Zaps is a great way to begin talking about mental health and anxiety for readers of all ages.
