In this poignant debut picture book from authors and farmers Nikiko Masumoto and David Mas Masumoto, with illustrations by award-winning artist Lauren Tamaki, little Midori discovers that every peach on her Japanese American family’s farm is a sweet reminder of those who’ve come before

One spring day, little Midori asks Jiichan, her grandfather, if the peaches on her family’s farm are ripe yet. To her surprise, he asks,“Does it taste like a story? That’s when you know it is ripe.”

As Jiichan teaches her about her Japanese American heritage and her family’s deep connection to this land, Midori begins to realize the patience, hard work, and endurance that allowed their roots to grow.

Poetic and powerful, Every Peach Is a Story is a journey of discovery through all of life’s seasons.

Authors: David Mas Masumoto, Nikiko Masumoto
