What happens when you swallow watermelon seeds? According to childhood logic—an entire tree might grow inside you!

A Tree in My Stomach is a wildly funny Indian English picture book in comic book format, built around one of the oldest fears we've all had as kids.
Set in the dry summer heat of Alwar, this story follows little Bijay who accidentally swallows watermelon seeds… and is convinced he’s going to turn into a giant plant. With the help of his hilarious friends Jeetu, Billu, and Chhotey, Bijay sets out on a dramatic (and completely misguided) mission to stop the sprouting!
