When Grandma gives you a lemon tree, definitely don’t make a face! Care for the tree, and you might be surprised at how new things, and new ideas, bloom. “Charms from cover to cover.” —Kirkus (Starred review) “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” In this imaginative take on that popular saying, a child is surprised (and disappointed) to receive a lemon tree from Grandma for her birthday. After all, she DID ask for a new gadget! But when she follows the narrator’s careful—and funny—instructions, she discovers that the tree might be exactly what she wanted after all. This clever story, complete with a recipe for lemonade, celebrates the pleasures of patience, hard work, nature, community . . . and putting down the electronic devices just for a while.

Clichés are commonplace in the world today.Some people build their whole life around a catchy phrase that both entertains and informs. But a lot of times they only deal with surface issues that gives temporary answers to life's more serious issues. Clichés have a place in life and language. But to be helpful they must be transformed into something that empowers people to explore more deeply the great issues of our life and times.The effort of this book is to take a popular cliché and use it to enable people to think more seriously about the issue of bitterness and strife that pervades a great part of the population of the world today. To live a life full of bitterness and strife has to be one of the most distressing ways to live. Bitterness and strife absorb so much of a person's daily existence. It is hard to be constructive when something so strong as bitterness and strife has a foot hole in a person's life. So then, using the common cliché, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade", this book aims to lead the reader towards a path away from bitterness and strife and into a life of joy and peace. No one has to be bitter in life. Bitterness is a choice. There are alternatives. A path to a more positive and constructive way of life can be chosen. Since this cliché has been introduced into the language of modern culture it has been used by various disciplines, doctrines and daily conversations to capture the innate ability of many humans to rise above the pull of bitterness and adopt a lifestyle that chooses to be positive and constructive rather than angry and bitter. We are not created to be bitter, but to be a pleasant aroma that overcomes the harsh tone of our existence that pervades human interaction in so many sectors today."When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" is a cliché that is simple but profound in so many ways. Part of the aim of this book is to move it away from just its simplistic use to a more serious effort to transcend the pervasive tendency of modern humans to be consumed by bitterness and strife. Seven elements are presented as primers for acquiring the capacity to overcome any form of bitterness that seeks to have control over our lives. Some are biblical and some are human aspirations that have a close correlation to the teachings of the Bible. In either case the belief is that God desires that humans would be able, with divine help, to live a life that is void of bitterness and infused with God's love that is able to transform the most hurtful situations in life into expressions of God's all-encompassing love, mercy and grace. What I hope to do in this book is to enable someone to get beyond any anger or bitterness in life and become a stronger more loving, compassionate, and kind person.

Turning lemons to lemonade means getting something sweet from life's sour moments. It's a statement of hope and a motto for the positive. If truly embraced, this idea of making the most of every experience can transform from an occasional habit into a way of life. From Lemons to Lemonade is Glenda Haskell's account of making positivity a lifestyle. This collection of honest and heartfelt stories captures Haskell's definitive effort to learn from life's trying moments and to pinpoint the thoughts and actions behind the good ones. Examining everyday incidents and encounters from her own lifetime, Haskell gleans profound lessons that can tend to escape anything but the closest scrutiny. From memories of the mundane-such as chipping a tooth and cross-country skiing-to recollections of deeply moving circumstances-such as valued friendship and the loss of a loved one-Haskell frames her experiences within seven interlocking themes of letting go, making choices, facing challenges, finding gratitude and compassion, creating good habits, practicing self-care, and developing a love for life. This inspirational collection of personal essays encourages readers to examine everything life has to offer, the good as well as the bad, to find the lessons tucked within.

Education is like a sherbet lemon: we need the structures and systems - the hard exterior - but we can easily lose sight of the magic that is at the heart of this; the teaching and learning - the fizz in the centre. Nina Jackson's mission in Of Teaching, Learning and Sherbet Lemons is to put the fizz back into classrooms by solving some of the toughest dilemmas facing teachers. You know the child in the class who never asks that burning question because they worry it might make them look silly, even if everyone else is thinking the same thing? Sometimes teachers can be like that child. And they don't know where to turn to get the answers. That is where Nina comes in. The teachers' questions in Of Teaching, Learning and Sherbet Lemons have been anonymised, but Nina's answers will resonate with teachers everywhere, offering support and practical advice. Nina doesn't have a magic wand but what she does have is years of experience, honesty and a commitment to help everyone be the best they can be. After all, second best just won't do! Whether you are wondering about difficulties and disagreements with colleagues, pushy parents, promotion and ambition or losing the love for teaching, Nina has plenty of tips and advice. There is wise guidance on what to do when learners keep shouting out, or chit-chatting, or won't say anything. Nina also shares her valuable insights into inclusion and learning differences including dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, ADD and ADHD, stutters and stammers, as well as addressing the sensitive issues of bereavement and self-harm. Topi covered also include: learner engagement and motivation, group work, learning styles, spoon feeding, feedback, unveiling learners' skills and talents, music in the classroom, transition from primary to secondary school, digital leaders, action research, school councils and INSET days. Suitable for all teachers - from NQTs to experienced teachers - across all subject-specialisms and phases; from primary to higher education.

Out of the “lemons” handed to Mexican American workers in Corona, California--low pay, segregated schooling, inadequate housing, and racial discrimination--Mexican men and women made “lemonade” by transforming leisure spaces such as baseball games, parades, festivals, and churches into politicized spaces where workers voiced their grievances, debated strategies for advancement, and built solidarity. Using oral history interviews, extensive citrus company records, and his own experiences in Corona, José Alamillo argues that Mexican Americans helped lay the groundwork for civil rights struggles and electoral campaigns in the post-World War II era.
