Table of ContentsReviews<p>“Cari Best has done it again with a charming text full of the meaning of life.” – Library Media Connection, STARRED review   <p>“A sweet look at a spunky kid with great problem-solving skills and some rules that are easily applicable to everyday life.” — Kirkus Reviews <p><br>“While young readers can make Happy Peach Pie (recipe on the back jacket), this is about more than pie making. Important themes abound–love, security, cooperation, warmth, respect–and somehow all are tied to the simple acts of cooking and eating together. A delicious book for all collections.” - School Library Journal <p><br>“Sweet’s glowing, citrus-bright collage scenes capture all the warmth, energy, and fun in this well-paced story that folds sly messages about working through problems into the celebratory tale. Chef Monty’s list of rules and a recipe for “Happy Peach Pie” complete this sweet treat.” - Bookl Author InformationCari Best's award-winning picture books include Sally Jean, the Bicycle Queen, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year.
