The Lemonade Club
August 22, 2008
Everyone loves Miss Wichelman?s fifth-grade class?especially best friends Traci and Marilyn. That?s where they learn that when life hands you lemons, make lemonade! They are having a great year until Traci begins to notice some changes in Marilyn. She?s losing weight, and seems tired all the time. She has leukemia?and a tough road of chemotherapy ahead. It is not only Traci and Miss Wichelman who stand up for her, but in a surprising and unexpected turn, the whole fifth-grade class, who figures out a way to say we?re with you.
In true Polacco fashion, this book turns lemons into lemonade and celebrates amazing life itself.
Customer Review: amazing book
This is the first children’s book that ever made me cry. The next night it had my husband tearing up. It is a great story — and even more amazing because it is a true story. My 7 year old is fascinated by it — in part perhaps because of the strong reaction of her parents to it. And, of course, it prompts discussion of friends (adults and children) we know who are fighting cancer.
Customer Review: The Lemonade Club
My daughter and I read this book cover to cover. She and I discussed many of our friends and family members who have had cancer and how this book relates. It was a wonderful story with a great ending. I have recommended this book to many people.
Thanks for giving us a wonderful story to share with our children!! Buy from here…
