Mr. Barleycorn makes a very unusual discovery growing on his land. He finds a green baby and brings it inside, completely unaware that he is about to unleash the wild and unstoppable power of nature into his home. Almost overnight, the house is transformed. Zucchinis begin to flower right in the middle of the kitchen, melons swell on the counters, and carrots sprout out of the television set. Mrs. Barleycorn insists that this strange Greenling has to leave immediately before their entire house turns into a jungle. But the wild beauty and abundant food the Greenling brings possess a strange and wonderful magic. Instead of driving people away, the spreading vines and fresh fruits begin to draw the whole community together. This modern fable explores the mysterious forces of the natural world and reminds you of the incredible things that can happen when people learn to live in harmony with the earth.
