Inga Simpson and Taanya Harricks their new picture book for children, 'The Peach King'

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.

In this episode Gregory Dobbs chats to Inga Simpson and Taanya Harricks about their shared passion for the natural world, why stories of resilience in nature have meaning for us all, and why the peach is the king of fruit.
