Publisher Description:

Growing up is frustrating when you're trying to be someone else.

Set on a beautiful country-side farm, a young lemon tree named Limun keeps trying hard to accomplish what any fruit tree is designed and destined to do- make good fruit But there's a problem. . . nope, no lemons.

Have you ever heard of a lemon tree that doesn't make lemons?

With each failure and setback, Limun feels confused and discouraged about what she is capable of.

Limun has tried to do everything right. . . Nope, no lemons.

Is she really a lemon tree. . . or something else?

From highly mature trees and silly bees, to a slithering snake and the mysterious wind - all of Nature seeks to give Limun advice in this beautifully illustrated tale, but the answer to her problem is closer than she thought

When you enjoy doing something and it doesn't work out, do you get frustrated and down? Just like this young tree, children can lose self-esteem and feel frustrated when trying to do something that seems completely natural to them.

Ever tried to do the same thing that other people do, but failed? Limun understands.

Fans of Self-Identity and Mindfulness books will enjoy this nature story about being yourself and perseverance in the face of limitations. Bringing goodness into the world isn't always easy

Contains more words and dialogue than the average picture book, but not as much as chapter books. Kids ages 7-10 or grades 2-4 will enjoy reading this story to their younger sibling or friends.
