Join Gerry the Grape in his adventures of a lifetime. After suddenly falling from the safety of his vine, Gerry is confronted with choices he never imagined having to make. With courage and humor, Gerry becomes a model for how to respond when an unexpected event changes your life forever. He overcomes his fears and makes positive decisions for his future.

The pages of this story are filled with engaging and lovable characters, who teach us important life lessons about becoming our best selves. Elijah the Eagle, Wally the Worm, Anna the Ant, and Fredrick the Frog are among the special allies that challenge and support Gerry along his path.

Rather than listening only to the voices of others, Gerry also considers the quiet messages of his own heart, as he sets out on a journey of self discovery. At a time when children are subject to peer pressures of all kinds, Gerry's strong self-esteem and willingness to make his own choices send an important message.

Gerry enthusiastically greets each day. In the process he learns to appreciate the world around him and the incredible power of friendship. As the creatures Gerry encounters teach him about their lives and the places they call home, he begins to understand his own uniqueness. After many experiences, Gerry finds his right place in the world and the role he is destined to play.

Children and adults alike will celebrate Gerry the Grape's determination to follow his dreams as he finds his way home.

What a truly delightful children's book! !   The lovable characters of
Gerry the Grape, Anna the Ant, Wally the Worm and others come alive as the author takes Gerry the Grape into the unknown world outside his comfortable vineyard home. Gerry the Grape will surely become a "must have" for parents, grandparents & caregivers wanting to instill a sense of wonder, adventure, determination and self-esteem in their own "little ones."
My congratulations to the author, L.F. Hereford, on a beautifully written book....     I look forward to more stories in the future.
