Fascinating
storytelling and classic elements of poetry combine to allow the reader
into the world of autism. Faced with a lifetime of "lemons,"
Judy decided years ago that rather than (a) throwing them out or (b) letting
them rot and then throwing them out, she would (c) make lemonade - capitalizing
on her strengths and talents. Each poem in the collection invites us to
focus on one of Judy's lemons, such as sensory lemons, her school days,
etc. By choosing her words simply and sparingly, the author trusts us
to fill in the spaces with our own experience, encouraging us to accept
our own lemons and make our own lemonade. |
