THE SOUR GRAPE

Meet the Sour Grape! Here to join the Bad Seed, the Good Egg, the Cool Bean, the Couch Potato, and the Smart Cookie is a grape with a bunch of grudges who learns there's a sweeter way to roll.

The Sour Grape holds grudges for every reason under the sun. Lime never returned a scarf they borrowed? Grudge! Orange never called back? Grudge! But when a friend holds a grudge against Sour Grape without listening to an explanation, Sour Grape realizes how unfair grudges can be. Could forgiveness be enough to turn a sour grape sweet?

Readers of all ages will burst out in laughter as they learn alongside their new best bud that life is sweetest when filled compassion and gratitude.
