**A modern fable about nature's power from a Kate Greenaway Medal
winner
**
Mr. Barleycorn picks a green baby growing on his land, unleashing the
incredible power of nature. When zucchinis flower in the kitchen and
carrots sprout out of their television, Mr. Barleycorn's wife insists
that the Greenling has to go. But the bounty and beauty of nature have a
strange power -- the power to bring a whole community together.
