Charlie found joy in his life and his beautiful fruit trees... until the day Frappie taunted him that his garden was ugly. On that day, a "sad seed" was planted in Charlie's garden and in his heart. That sad seed didn't just stay small! It grew into a great big yucky, stinky tree that caused huge problems for Charlie, his garden and for the entire village of Gardenias. As the Yucky, Stinky Tree slowly grew in Charlie's garden, the sad seed also grew in Charlie's heart and caused him to be mean to the other Gardenias and call them names, just as Frappie did to him. It wasn't long before Charlie's garden was overshadowed by yucky, stinky fruit that fell from the Yucky, Stinky Tree that was overtaking Charlie's garden. Not only was Charlie's garden a mess, but his heart was as well.When Charlie finally decides that he no longer wants the Yucky, Stinky Tree in his garden anymore, he tries everything he can think of to get it out! To Charlie's disappointment, nothing he tries will make the tree disappear. At the point of despair, Charlie hears the Wise Oak Tree whisper words to him that would forever change his garden and his heart. He tells him the "truth" --that his garden is beautiful and not ugly. When Charlie finally decides to believe the Wise Oak Tree and listen to "truth," the Yucky, Stinky Tree immediately disappears from his garden and a happy "seed" gets planted in its place. Charlie's heart finds happiness again and his garden rediscovers it's true beauty. This book was created to help children, both old and young, discover a valuable secret to personal happiness. They will discover how "sad seeds"-- and "happy seeds" affect not only Charlie's heart and garden... but theirs as well.
