Reviewed By Asher Syed for Readers' Favorite Lemons for Blessings, written by Carissa Lovvorn and illustrated by Joshua Wichterich, is a Christian children's picture book that employs the famed adage of turning lemons into lemonade in a more literal sense. Two young girls named the Sharing Sisters are well aware of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on their lives and wish to do something special for the front-line workers who selflessly carried on for the sake of us all. Their father helps them build a lemonade stand that they then bring to a local fairground to serve their fresh lemonade to the people who served the community. The book concludes with relevant scripture and the line, There's a lesson to be learned about giving of yourself. We should never keep our gifts stored up on a shelf. Carissa Lovvorn has written a cute little story on an important premise in Lemons for Blessings. My youngest reader was fond of the lyrical, sing-song style of the narrative and from a technical poetic standpoint, it was pitch-perfect. The flow is lovely and the words glide along comfortably through each page. The most incredible part of the book is unquestionably in its artwork. Joshua Wichterich is a master illustrator and we were all in utter awe of the gorgeous sketches that are complemented by a soft pastel palette inspired by watercolor. You know you have found a winner when a little girl's tiny fingers linger on the page and trace over some of the art. Very highly recommended.
