Overview
A contemporary fable about the resilience of nature from Inga Simpson, one of Australia's leading nature writers, with paintings by acclaimed illustrator Tannya Harricks
When Little Peach Tree was just a sapling, all they could see was row upon row of other peach trees. And, on top of the hill, watching over the orchard - the Peach King.
As seasons pass, bringing cycles of change, Little Peach Tree grows and grows.
But darker changes are stirring. Soon rain is scarce, the forests turn brown, animals flee and the sky turns red.
To protect the orchard, the Peach King faces grave danger and Little Peach Tree must find their voice.
