When Grandma Gives You A Lemon Tree by Jamie L. B. Deenihan – Author Visit

Last April, Frog, Toad and I had the pleasure to attend an author visit for the book, “When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree.” This event was held at our favorite Indie Bookstore, Riverbend Books and it was just delightful. To begin with, Jamie is one of the sweetest people I’ve met and her book is filled with goodness! Seriously, every child should have this book on their shelf. It is all about changing your perspective to see something positive and about being grateful. The little girl in the book wants all the gadgets for her birthday! So when her grandmother gives her a lemon tree she is quite skeptical. As the book progresses though, she is guided by the narrator in how to take care of her lemon tree and eventually, how to use the lemons to make lemonade. It’s adorable, heartwarming and sweet.

We all loved this book and meeting Jamie. Since last year, Jamie has come out with a companion book, “When Grandpa Gives You a Toolbox,” which is on my list to get! It looks equally cute and if it’s anything like the Lemon Tree book, it will be fabulous. She has a few other adorable books as well!

Have you read anything by Jamie?!

Summing it up: Jamie is a beautiful person and I feel so lucky that we got to meet her. I highly recommend “When Grandma Gives You a Lemon Tree” and can’t wait to read more of her books!

Best, Abbey
