Cuando la abuela te regala un limonero, ¡no pongas mala cara! Cuida del árbol y puede que te sorprendas al ver cómo florecen nuevas cosas y nuevas ideas.
“Cuando la vida te da limones, haz limonada”. En esta creativa interpretación del dicho popular, una niña se sorprende (y desilusiona) cuando su abuela le regala un limonero por su cumpleaños. Después de todo, ¡ella había pedido un aparato nuevo! Sin embargo, cuando sigue las cuidadosas —y graciosas— instrucciones de la narradora, descubre que, después de todo, el árbol podría ser exactamente lo que ella quería. Esta ingeniosa historia, que incluye una receta para hacer limonada, celebra los placeres de la paciencia, el trabajo arduo, la naturaleza, la comunidad… y el dejar de lado los aparatos electrónicos por un momento.

What do you do when Grandma gives you a lemon tree? First, don’t drop your tree off of a cliff. Then, try caring for it, and you might be surprised at what 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.
