Kotone Utsunomiya - The Peach Thief (EN)

“Large, shiny peaches lined up in a beautiful peach stand. A man arrived, grabbed a beautiful peach, and ran away.
The thief did nothing more: he ate the peach and spat out the pit.”

And now?

Inspired by a trip to Lisbon, by the open-air fruit stands and its sloping hills, Japanese author Kotone Utsunomiya surprised the jury of the 6th edition of the “SERPA International Illustrated Album Award” with a story full of adventures and a strong sense of humor.
