Riassunto
Join Really Bird and friends as they learn to make a unique fresh lemonade and use it to do some good around the park where they live.
Meet Really Bird, a small bird who lives in a large city park with his friends, Cat, Rabbit, and Pup. In each story, Really Bird finds himself really wanting something – to be bigger, to have his fair share, or to be a leader – to be really silly, funny, strong, cool, happy or brave. And when he feels something, he really feels it.
Each story is an entertaining, character-driven caper based on relatable social/emotional themes, delivered with surprise twists, high drama, and expert comic timing. Along the way, lessons are learned about qualities such as teamwork and compassion. The emphasis is on character growth and development through creative problem solving, Friendship and emotional engagement are at the heart of every story.
In I Really Want to Make Lemonade! Really Bird comes up with the great idea to make an interesting batch of lemonade and share it with all the friends in the park, in return for some community service that will benefit the park.
