About the Book

PICK THIS BOOK! (We promise it's sweet.) From the creator of Hidden Gem comes a funny and delightful new picture book about an apple who learns the importance of self-acceptance and patience after being left behind during picking season. Ever been picked last? Well, this sour apple knows a thing or two about what it feels like to be forgotten. When apple season passes and he's left on the cold, hard ground, he questions his place in the world. As his introspection branches out into different ideas of what could have been if he was chosen, he learns some core truths about what it means to be alive.

Review :
A Children's Book Council K-2nd Grade Favorites Award Selection A Society of Illustrators 2024 Original Art Exhibit Winner "A tremendous homage to self-esteem, individuality, thoughtfulness, -surrender, and hope." --School Library Journal, starred review "An uplifting tale of triumph." --Kirkus Reviews "As in her sparkling debut, Hidden Gem, Liu has created a charming and emotional protagonist to whom readers of all ages will relate: After all, recognizing and appreciating our own unique potential is an ongoing process. It's a delight to follow along as this apple's outlook changes from sour to sweet, eventually undergoing an astonishing transformation that celebrates the wonder of a new perspective and a hopeful future. " --BookPage Praise for Hidden Gem "While there are many recent children's books that celebrate identity, make room for this one, which blends subtle humor and superb design for a profound, deftly conveyed message. . . Breathtaking." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Liu has created a delightful, reflective, rhyming, and engaging book for emerging readers. Her illustrations at first glance look simple, but are unassumingly detailed with social justice, racial, and gender identity connections that allow parents and teachers to talk about inclusion, tolerance, and acceptance within the context of the story, that can easily transfer to daily life and interactions. Children will enjoy having this book read to them and reading it themselves." --School Library Journal, starred review "Alongside message-forward text, it's the glowing colors of Liu's distinctive visual style that carry the overarching message of self-wonder and innate worth." --Publishers Weekly "Liu's art matches the quirky tone of the book, using predominantly geometrical shapes with beautifully textured watercolor patterns . . . the reminder to love yourself as you are is still sweet and worthy of sharing." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
