As he travels through the seasons, he keeps missing the wonders of the changing world around him. His friend, the wise Sun, tries to help, but Ralph is determined to ditch his youthful green. He tries everything-washing himself with water, meditating, begging, even asking a pigeon to peck away his shade! But nothing works... until one day at the local harvest fair, a girl named Ada crosses his path. And with her, everything begins to shift!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTurn Me Orange Pleaseeeee\u003c\/em\u003e thoughtfully tackles our modern-day \"rush to nowhere\"-the constant hurry that sweeps up even the youngest among us. Through playful language and humorous moments, this book reminds children (and adults too!) that there's value in every stage of life, no matter how long or short it may seem.
