The little lima bean thinks big thoughts and tries with all his might, but he just stays small…until one day, with the help of the rain, he sprouts! Teaching children that, although it may take some time, dreams can come true, this spiral-bound board book comes with a blister pack of lima bean seeds and directions for growing them at home. The launch of The Little Lima Bean will be celebrated with a book signing by the author, Dr. Brent Ching, on Friday, July 10, 5PM - 6:30PM at Barnes & Noble, Ala Moana, and a story reading by the author on Saturday, July 11, 11AM - noon at Barnes & Noble, Ala Moana.
