Reviews
When life gives you lemons make lemonade is the theme here, and it's well done for teaching a lesson, but not one I'd enjoy reading over and over again.
I love that this book teaches to validate emotions and also to look at the bright side of things. :) Both are great skills that are important for every age of life!
