“Picking persimmons, making persimmon cakes, everything is going smoothly!” Every autumn at “Shizi An (or Persimmon Temple),” a small temple hidden in the deep mountains, the persimmon trees in the courtyard are full of red fruit-like lanterns, tempting everyone to pick them. The author, Uncle Peach, and the illustrator, Fei Jingmiao, have teamed up to create this delightful world that will make you feel the warmth of human nature and the joy of harvest with all living creatures. With love in our hearts, we will never feel cold in the mountains.
