Storytime in the Woods, Episode 8
Story: Poppy's Fresh Peaches, by Becca Lane
Poppy and her mom were preparing for their annual spring equinox celebration. Their tradition was to bake a peach pie to remind them of the sunny, warm days that will soon return. They always used canned peaches from what they harvested the summer before.
This year, Poppy decides she wants fresh peaches, not canned ones, even though peaches don’t grow and can’t be found this time of year.
She walks into town with her lucky penny, determined to find fresh peaches.
