Bookroo's summary

Potato is consumed by worry, fearing the unknown. He turns to his friends, a girl and a flamingo, seeking reassurance. Instead of false promises, they offer something more valuable: unwavering companionship. As Potato navigates his anxieties, he discovers that while not everything may be okay, having friends by his side makes all the difference. Will Potato find peace in uncertainty, or will his fears overwhelm him? This heartwarming tale explores the power of friendship and acceptance in the face of life's unpredictability.

From the publisher

A girl, a flamingo, and a worried potato star in the third book in New York Times bestselling author Michael Ian Black and illustrator Debbie Ridpath Ohi’s series about feelings—and why they’re good, even when they feel bad. Potato is worried. About everything. Because anything might happen. When he tells his friends, he expects them to comfort him by saying that everything will be okay. Except they don’t. Because it might not be, and that’s okay too. Still, there’s one thing they can promise for sure: no matter what happens…they will always be by his side.
