Join us for a beloved storytime of Every Peach Is a Story with illustrator Lauren Tamaki! Steeped in history, love, and grief, Tamaki’s heartwarming picture book demonstrates just how similar a ripening peach is to an immigrant family’s journey — and how you can taste that in every bite.

In this story, young Midori’s jii-chan (her grandfather) tells her that their peaches will be ready when they taste like a story. But what, she wonders, does a story taste like? In the weeks that follow, he shows her the parallels between a peach and their once journeying family, the effort that goes into a single fruit. This valuable lesson remains with her even after her jii-chan has passed away. From debut authors David Masumoto and Nikiko Masumoto, with illustrations from award-winning artist Lauren Tamaki, comes a poignant tale about family and the meaning you can find in every part of life.

Perfect for a little one who loves asking surprisingly deep questions, colorful artwork, or peaches.
