When Grandma gives you a lemon tree / written by Jamie L.B. Deenihan ; illustrated by Lorraine Rocha. - 26 unnumbered pages : color illustrations ; 29 cm
Grandma knows best in this funny story of an unexpected birthday present that leads to a whole set of skills for the young recipient. (Miller Library Staff) When Grandma gives you a lemon tree, definitely don't make a face! Care for the tree, and you might be surprised at how new things, and new ideas, bloom. 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.
Recommended for preschool (age 0-5) and primary school (age 6-12).
