The Book

"Can YOU help Lemon find the party? Fans of Sabine Timm @virgin_honey are jumping for joy! The Instagram darling from Germany has teamed up with beloved American author Jamie Michalak to create a picture book perfect for all ages, but especially kids from 4 to 8. So . . . COME ON IN!" ( Followed by 168K Instagram followers! )

This delightful rhyming picture book uses an adorable lemon as the main character.  She is looking for a party and sets off on a mission to find one with her friends.  The readers, of course, are invited to join in on the celebration.  Want to go? 

The illustrations are amazing and each additional character is created out of something unique: combs with wigs, fruit in suits, and dogs made out of bread, just to name a few.  The eclectic crowd will have kids giggling and wanting to join in for sure.  

The rhymes and illustrations are a perfect marriage making this playful  and whimsical book a winner.  It touts diversity, inclusivity, friendship, problem solving and tons of creativity.  I love it and kids will too.  I highly recommend, "Come on in: There's a Party in This Book!
