{"product_id":"lemon-the-duck-9781897073742","title":"Lemon the Duck","description":"\u003cp\u003e(ages 3 - 7) This gorgeous picture book is based on the inspirational true story of Lemon the Pekin Duck  who was born in an elementary school classroom. Neurological issues make Lemon unable to walk  but with the support of a compassionate teacher and her students  Lemon is still able to become one happy duck. In the story  Ms. Lake and her class conduct an egg-hatching project in school and on the big day  welcome four little ducklings into the world. The students soon realize that the soft yellow one they named Lemon looks like a duck and quacks like a duck  but cannot stand up and walk like a duck. They worry that Lemon wont be happy if she is not able to do all the things ducks love to do  and work together to help Lemon thrive. When the time comes to tackle the challenge of encouraging Lemon to stand up  their creative ideas lead to a surprising solution  the recycling of an old doggie life vest  which  it turns out  makes the perfect duck harness. Through working with Lemon  the students share her in victories and learn that acceptance  love  and extra special care can go a long way. They also come to understand that her difference does not make Lemon any less special.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280061915189,"sku":"ByrdShop_1897073747","price":41.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781897073742.jpg?v=1780618709","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/lemon-the-duck-9781897073742","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
