Peaches: A Picture Book

In Peaches, a hopeful multigenerational story of love and healing from author Gabriele Davis and illustrator Kim Holt, a girl holds her mother's memory close while carrying on an important family tradition: making peach cobbler together.

Summer Sundays begin with picking.

Rosy-ripe peaches dipping low to the ground,

Sun-warmed and soft like Grandma's lap.

Side by side with Daddy and Grandma, a young girl is determined to take part in her family's tradition of baking the perfect peach cobbler--just like her mama used to. From picking fruit to stirring and mixing to kneading the dough, it's a little bit messy. But with sure hands to guide the girl step-by-step--and her mother's memory hanging sweet in the air--she has the recipe for making Mama proud. This warmhearted and ultimately hopeful picture book shows that with a house full of love, everything can feel peach-perfect.
