Ashley McCaffrey Picture Book: The Lemon Who Learned To Be Sweet (1/2)

Thank you to Ashley for donating 2 copies of her debut children's picture book, "The Lemon Who Learned To Be Sweet" (paperback)

A charming children's book about the importance of kindness, friendship and self-worth – perfect for ages 3-8

Meet Zest, the shiniest lemon in the fruit bowl, who believes his perfect looks make him better than everyone else.

"I'm Zest, I'm the BEST from my feet to my stem!"

But when Zest's mean comments and boastful behaviour leave him in a sour situation, he's forced to look beyond his yellow peel and consider what's really important.

Through colourful illustrations and gentle humour, this rhyming picture book helps children learn alongside Zest that true beauty comes from within, and that kindness and friendship are what make someone truly special.

This heartwarming story for preschoolers and elementary children teaches valuable social-emotional learning lessons about:

• Empathy and compassion
• The dangers of judging by appearances
• Dealing with bullying
• Building self-esteem and confidence
• The importance of saying "I'm sorry"

A perfect read-aloud book for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to encourage children to be kind, thoughtful, and accepting of others.
