Reviews
A PW Summer Reads Selection

★ "Sterer writes a make-lemonade story with a twist . . . The unexpected developments feel dreamy, too, as Cho's sprightly art, filled with invention and wit, give still more charm to a story about doing one's best with what one's given, and of transitioning from city to wilderness." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ "Children will rejoice at Sterer's blissful text, introducing customer after customer, while Cho's illustrations fill the pages . . . With pages to pore over, this essential purchase will leave readers thirsty, exhilarated, and full of plans of their own." --School Library Journal, starred review

"Bright cartoon illustrations are full of funny details, and the alliterative text begs to be read aloud . . . Encouragement for moguls-to-be and fun for everyone else." --Kirkus

"With pigtails bouncing and wide smile grinning (and then grimacing), our young entrepreneur brings a frantic energy to the scene, pushing and then chasing her homemade stand (topped with a bespectacled lemon with its own delightful expressions) through scenes vibrant with urban chaos and then pastoral sunniness." --BCCB

"The artwork moves from garish colors befitting a hot summer day to the darker tonesof a forest and riverside dreamscape, all overflowing with comic details . . . A delightful frame for a lesson on conquering challenges." --Booklist

"Cho's lively, sunny illustrations are the perfect match for Sterer's amusing text." --The Buffalo News
