The Sour Grape by Jory John and Pete Oswald

This is from a series known as Food Groups, and this is my first foray into it. My youngest son works in an elementary school and he has a button down shirt featuring the characters in this book--really fun. I loved this story about a grape who has a difficult experience as a young grape that sours him on others for quite some time--up until when he has a series of unfortunate events that make him very late for a date, and is met with a disgruntled friend--he feels unfairly judged, and it gives him the insight that maybe something went wrong in his pivotal event--which he discovers is true--and that maybe it is better to forgive and move on rather than hold on to the resentment. Really nice message and advice.
