Bookroo's summary
In a lively fruit parade, Orange feels excluded as every fruit rhymes except him. When Apple notices Orange's sadness, a quest for inclusivity begins. Can the fruits find a way to include Orange in their song? This delightful tale explores themes of belonging and celebrates differences with humor and heart.
From the publisher
A perfect laugh-out-loud, read-aloud from New York Times bestselling author Adam Rex!
We all know nothing rhymes with orange, but how does that make Orange feel? Well, left out, obviously!
When a fruit parade gets together to sing a song about how wonderful they are—and the song happens to rhyme—Orange can’t help but feel like it’s impossible to ever fit in. But when one particularly intuitive Apple notices how Orange is feeling, the entire English language begins to become a bit more inclusive.
Beloved author-illustrator Adam Rex has created a hilarious yet poignant parable about feeling left out, celebrating difference, and the irrefutable fact that nothing rhymes with orange.
