Summary

Peach Heaven


Based on the author's childhood in South Korea The white peaches grown in Puchon are the best in all South Korea, and a rare treat for a little girl who lives in the town. She dreams of a peach orchard where she can play and eat as much of the delicious fruit as she wishes. Then one day, after weeks of heavy downpours, the sky begins to rain peaches. Yangsook finds herself in peach heaven - until she remembers the farmers who have lost their harvest, and decides she must help them. Paintings with scenes that evoke traditional South Korean landscapes accompany this lovingly told story from the author's childhood.
