The People Tree That Grew to Outer Space...

MAKED UP STORIES (KIDS STORIES)
About this episode

To request a custom story, visit www.storybird.ai. Two young boys, Jonah and Jesse, stumble upon an incredible discovery while gardening: seeds that contain tiny see-through people. They decide to plant the seeds and watch as a massive tree grows, reaching heights beyond their wildest imaginations. Climbing to the top of the tree, they discover that what they thought were people are actually tiny aliens, and the tree they planted is an alien tree that grows beings instead of giving birth. When the aliens start falling to Earth, Jesse and Jonah must act fast to save their town. With the help of a giant flying squirrel, they make it down the tree and use bug spray to shrink it back into a seed, saving the day. In the end, they decide to hide the alien seed where no one can find it. This enchanting story takes readers on an imaginative adventure filled with aliens, action, and discovery.
