The Peach Thief

Kotone Utsunomiya

Big, shiny peaches were lined up at a peach shop.
A man grabbed a perfect peach and ran away.
The thief ate the peach and spat out the stone. Now what?

Inspired by a trip to Lisbon with its fruit stalls and steep hills, Japanese author Kotone Utsonomiya delighted the jury of the 6th edition of the SERPA with this colorful, humourous story of multiple mishaps.
