Puchon, South Korea, where author/illustrator Yangsook Choi grew up, is an area renowned for its peach growing. A flood in 1976 led to an event still vivid in the author’s mind: peaches raining from the sky. “The heavy rains had carried them all the way from the mountain orchards, Grandma told me. But who could explain why they were not battered or bruised?” After feasting on the heavenly peaches until she could eat no more, young Yangsook thinks about the farmers who had worked so hard to raise the fruit. That leads her to organize her community into doing a kind turn for the farmers, and cart after cart full of peaches are returned to their orchards. Choi’s story tells of an extraordinary event in nature, and a compassionate human response. (Ages 4–7)
