About this episode

To request a custom story, visit www.storybird.ai. In this imaginative story, Jonah and Jesse live in a town made of popsicle sticks that is part of a giant's playground. They dream of escaping and come up with a plan to use balloons and rubber to get over the electric fence that surrounds the town. As they sneak away, they discover the giant is actually a child and wonder what to do next. During a family meeting, they find a green marker that, when used, turns them all into giants. The story ends with the family living happily ever after as giants.
