"From an award-winning author and his daughter comes a poignant, poetic, and powerful picture book about three generations of a Japanese American family and a year on their peach farm. In late spring, little Midori asks her Jiichan, her grandfather, if the peaches are ripe yet. And through the seasons, the senses, and family stories, he shows her just how to tell when a peach is ready: Does it taste like a story? That's when you know it is ripe"-- Provided by publisher.
