Peach Heaven

32 pp. | Farrar/Foster | May, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-374-35761-7 $16.00
(3) K-3 A South Korean girl describes the time when storms hit and peaches rained down on the town of Puchon. The girl feasts on the peaches until it occurs to her that farmers have lost their livelihood, and she and her friends pitch in to help them out. The tale is moving without ever being maudlin, and unusual perspectives further enhance the muted illustrations.
