The Wicked Watermelon tells the tale of an envious, mean-spirited watermelon who chooses to harm his neighbors—the peaches, plums, and other fruit in a beautiful orchard. How the fruit react to his cunning misbehavior and the consequences of the wicked watermelon’s misdeeds teach young children about bravery, resolve, and unity in the face of a threat to their community and how the most unlikely of characters can turn out to be heroes.
