Silly Bean is a joyful, heart-warming picture book about a tiny bean who just can't help being different.
In a neat and orderly garden, all the beans stand tall and still except one. Silly Bean wiggles, sings, and dances in the breeze. The other vegetables don't understand him. They think he's too playful, too noisy, too... silly.
But when a strong wind knocks down the scarecrow and hungry crows swoop in, the garden needs help. And it's Silly Bean's wiggly, stretchy, never-give-up spirit that saves the day.
Suddenly, being different doesn't seem so silly after all.
