When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree

<DIV><B>When Grandma gives you a lemon tree, definitely <I>don't</I> make a face! Care for the tree, and you might be surprised at how new things, and new ideas, bloom. </B><BR /><BR /> “<B>Charms from cover to cover." -<I>Kirkus</I></B> (Starred review) <BR /><BR /> “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." In this imaginative take on that popular saying, a child is surprised (and disappointed) to receive a lemon tree from Grandma for her birthday. After all, she DID ask for a new gadget! But when she follows the narrator's careful-and funny-instructions, she discovers that the tree might be exactly what she wanted after all. This clever story, complete with a recipe for lemonade, celebrates the pleasures of patience, hard work, nature, community . . . and putting down the electronic devices just for a while.</DIV>
