About this Event

Beauty in Every Bite!


Join us for a beloved storytime of 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 MAS 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 little one who love asking surprisingly deep questions, colorful artwork, or peaches.

Saturday, April 19th at 11:30am at Our 17th St Store!
