"Jerome and his fellow Garden of Wonder dwellers--including Oakie, his pet acorn; Nutilda, a hyperactive squirrel; and Warble, a fast-talking bird--learn what it takes to make a happiness seed blossom. Through patience, asking for help, and teamwork, Jerome and his friends take a little black seed left on a windowsill and find ways to help it grow. They soon find that as it flourishes, their own happiness does too. Jerome the Gnome teaches young readers and listeners how a garden grows, as well as how a community comes together to make the experience more rewarding--and fun!" -- Publisher annotation.
