This New York Times Bestseller and Amazon Best Children’s Book is about to become your new favorite read-aloud—trust us on this one.
Meet the bad seed. And we mean bad. He’s got a terrible temper, zero manners, and an attitude that could wilt a daisy. He cuts in line, stares rudely at everyone, and never, ever listens. He’s been this way for as long as he can remember, and honestly? He’s pretty comfortable with it.
But here’s the thing about seeds—even the grumpiest ones can grow.
When this mischievous little seed decides he’s tired of being bad and wants to try something different—like being happy—everything starts to shift. It’s not easy, and it doesn’t happen overnight, but the journey is funny, touching, and surprisingly profound.
With Jory John’s witty, endearing storytelling and Pete Oswald’s bold, expressive illustrations, The Bad Seed delivers a powerful message about self-acceptance, personal growth, and the beautiful possibility of change. It’s a story that resonates with kids learning to navigate big feelings and adults who remember what that was like.
Perfect for storytime snuggles on a rainy Ogunquit afternoon or as a gentle conversation starter about emotions and behavior, this charming picture book reminds us all: no matter who we’ve been, we can always choose who we want to become. And sometimes, that choice makes all the difference.
