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.
