From New York Times bestselling author Gideon Sterer is an imaginative, colorful tale of making (and selling!) lemonade from life's lemons is not too sour and not too sweet.

One scorching hot summer day, a spunky young girl decides to sell lemonade . . . only to find there are too many other young entrepreneurs on her street with the same idea. So she sets off with her lemonade stand and ends up at the river's edge, where she discovers a most unexpected, quirky, and very thirsty clientele.

Praise for It Began with Lemonade

Praise for Not Your Nest!

* "Absurd humor and frantic frustration . . . [Sterer] nails how infuriating it can feel to be on the receiving end of unabashed selfishness . . . highly satisfying." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Giggle-inducing." --Kirkus

"Resembling Jon Klassen's I Want My Hat Back (2011) in tone but with a kinder, gentler outcome." --Booklist

"An enormously amusing read-aloud choice." --School Library Journal

"Sterer's to-the-point speech-bubble text is brought to life in the richly colored illustrations, making the most of the silly interactions." --The Horn Book
