This triumphant, upbeat story, shows how one small action can bring big, positive change. From the creators of the international bestseller and much-loved classic, Giraffes Can't Dance.

And as the tree began to blossom,
Just like Chutney said,
The Children both began to feel
The happiness it spread.

Chutney the chimpanzee has a special tree - a happy tree!
Can he plant it in Drabsville and bring hope and joy to a once dreary town?

A colourful, rhyming story about happiness and positivity from the creative-duo behind Giraffes Can't Dance.

Giraffes Can't Dance has been a much-loved family favourite for over 20 years, and has sold over 7 million copies worldwide.
