Blue Peaches Grow In Georgia - 9781649908629

This thought-provoking and inspiring allegorical tale for children was inspired by real-life hero Stacey Abrams. A young girl named Stacey is on a mission to bring back the Georgia peach after all the orchards have died. She collects peach pits from her neighbors and organizes the community to plant the seeds and tend the land. Each year they plant more and more peach seeds and the trees grow strong. Eventually the trees bloom with purple blossoms and from them delicious blue peaches are formed-the best peaches ever! The orchards continue to grow and flourish for years to come. Stacey grows up, and the people love her so much for giving them back their peaches that she becomes the governor of Georgia. Given the 2020 Georgia elections, this book is relevant and makes it easier for a young person to grasp how the grassroots movement for change happened. Aimed at ages 10-12, the story is perfect for parents to use as a conversation starter about voting, persistence, and determination.
