All the boy really wants is a peach tree. There is nothing quite like eating a perfectly ripe peach in the summer, feeling sticky and sweet. But when his eagerly awaited tree finally arrives in the spring, it does not look like a tree at all. It just looks like a completely ordinary stick.
Even his best friend Maya agrees it is nothing but a stick. But as the seasons turn, things begin to shift. What happens when you plant that stick and it actually grows leaves? And what happens when your best friend has to move away?
This tender, wise story explores the patience it takes to watch a tree grow and the resilience required when your world changes. You will discover a beautiful tale about the enduring power of friendship, the funny persistence of backyard rabbits, and the magic of one glorious, impossible peach.
