In this moving picture book, a migrant worker and his daughter, find
good fortune in the form of a peach tree growing behind their house in
rural China. Filled with stunning illustrations, this is a unique and
poignant story about love, perseverance, and family. Behind their old
stone house, Tao Hua and her father, Baba, discover good fortune: a
peach tree. Baba prunes and tends to the tree. He calls it a blessing,
like good shoes, hot rice, and books. And for a long time, the peach
tree offers them fruit and hope for a better life. But time passes,
and so do the seasons, and, one day, the tree does not blossom. But
life blossoms in a different way when Baba comes home and announces
that he got a job in the Big City, where there are good schools and
opportunities. And so the seasons pass, and, one day, when Baba is
very old, he and his daughter return to their old home and to new
peach trees--to old memories and new beginnings. Baba’s Peach Tree
is a story of the dreams we dream and the sacrifices we make as seen
through the lens of a migrant family.
