Can You Grow A Red Lemon?

The other morning I read the children’s book called, ‘The Red Lemon.’

This children’s book was written and illustrated by Bob Staake.

It’s a delightful children’s rhyming book about Farmer McPhee and a red lemon.

Farmer McPhee grows perfect yellow lemons, but when he finds a red lemon on one of his lemon trees he quickly gets rid of it by tossing it across the blue sea and onto an island.

However many years later the farmers lemon orchard become weeds, but the red lemon seeds have succeeded in growing an orchard of red lemon trees.

The island is now a successful tourist attraction bringing many visitors that want to eat and taste the sweet red lemon.

This is a wonderful story that educates children and adults to realise that imperfections are not a bad thing and may have more to offer in a different way.

As just like the red lemon it looked different but turned out to have much more to offer in the end.

I’d recommend children and adults read it as its very educational.

In life you will always come across something not to your liking, but remember if you turn a negative thought into a positive one, you will always find it was worth it in the end and more than likely, better than first expected.

So read it now or watch it on YouTube and tell me what you think?
