THE SOUR GRAPE by Jory John & Pete Oswald
PAPERBACK
Author: Jory John
Illustrator: Pete Oswald
Sharp, silly, and sneakily wise, THE SOUR GRAPE is a picture book about grudges, forgiveness, and learning when to let things go - another irresistible entry in the beloved Food Group series.
The Sour Grape is very good at holding grudges.
Scarf not returned? Grudge.
Call not answered? Grudge.
Tiny, forgettable inconvenience? Definitely a grudge…
But when a friend suddenly holds a grudge against him - without even listening to his side of the story - the Sour Grape gets a taste of how unfair and lonely grudges can be. Slowly, he begins to realise that forgiveness and compassion might be a much sweeter way to live.
Written by Jory John and illustrated with bold, expressive humour by Pete Oswald, this story balances big laughs with an emotionally smart message young readers can really grasp. A funny, relatable take on holding grudges, The Sour Grape reminds readers that letting go can feel a whole lot better than staying sour.
