The Avocado’s Dream

● Book Introduction Avocado's Journey: The Challenge and Growth to Become a Soccer Star!

“The Avocado’s Dream" depicts the journey in which Avocado learns about friendship and self-improvement through a soccer match. During a fierce game, Avocado clashes with Paprika, sustains an injury, and makes a mistake that leads to being sent off. At that moment, a suspicious Potato approaches Avocado, promising, “You can become a real soccer player.” Without questioning Potato’s intentions, Avocado follows him—only to discover that it was all a lie. Avocado manages to escape by throwing the pit at Potato. Will Avocado ever become a true soccer player?

● Publisher’s Review The Importance of Learning from Mistakes

During the match, Avocado makes a careless mistake and is sent off. Through this experience, Avocado reflects on what went wrong and makes an effort to become a better person. The book delivers the message that you should not fear mistakes but instead use them as stepping stones for growth.

The Need for Careful Judgment

Avocado is initially swayed by the dubious promises of Potato and later realizes he has been deceived. Instead of blindly believing others, it’s important to judge carefully and make your own decisions. This underscores how crucial it is to discern someone’s true intentions and to assess situations independently.

The Value of Friendship and Teamwork

When Avocado returns to his friends, he rediscovers the significance of friendship and teamwork through playing together once again. In particular, as the goalkeeper who leads the team to victory in the final scene, Avocado shows how important it is to work and cooperate with friends rather than trying to do everything alone.
