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. --Editor

As Little Leo and his mother walk along the riverbank in the African grasslands, he watches all the animals playing and leaping around and gets an idea... what if he jumped to the top of that mountain in the distance? The young lion cub leaps again and again. But he trips over his paws, falls into mud, and never makes the top of the ledge. He assures Mama he only missed because of the way the wind was blowing or maybe the bugs that flew in his face--next time, he'll get there for sure! With Mama's encouragement and his own determination, can the proud young lion make his leap? --Publisher
