Product Description
 
Meet the seed who’s been bad since he can remember — always late, always rude, always grumbling. That is, until he asks himself: “What if I tried being happy?” In The Bad Seed, author Jory John teams up with illustrator Pete Oswald to deliver a playful, expressive picture book that explores the power of change, self-acceptance and fresh starts.
 
With bold illustrations, lively text and a gently funny tone, this book invites young readers into the world of the seed who decides he might try a different path — and in doing so learns what kindness, responsibility and joy can look like. Whether it’s part of your bedtime routine, a gift for a little one, or a classroom read-aloud, The Bad Seed resonates with kids and grown-ups alike.
