The Shiny Red Apple

High above Henry’s Crossing, in the branches of the old Elm tree, the Piggy Pack Clubhouse is buzzing with excitement for the Harvest Festival. But when Hammie, P.B., and Cluck spot the biggest, shiniest, reddest apple on Mama’s tree, waiting suddenly feels very hard. It’s just one apple… no one would notice… right? 

As temptation grows sweeter by the minute, Cluck shares a story about a beautiful garden called Eden — where one choice changed everything. Now Hammie and P.B. must decide: will they grab what looks good in the moment, or trust that waiting might lead to something better? 

The Shiny Red Apple is a heartwarming tale of friendship, self control, and making wise choices — even when it’s hard. With gentle nods to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, this charming adventure reminds young readers that doing the right thing is always worth the wait
