⭐ A "Starred" review for KIMCHI TACO TIME from School Library Journal!!!
"The cover art bursts with color, blending retro 1970s aesthetics with manga-inspired energy that signals readers are in for something delicious...
VERDICT A riotous celebration of family culture, adventurous eating, and bicultural fusion cooking. Highly recommended."

It's a very special day when we get to meet a personal ! A true honor to visit with writer/farmer—or is it farmer/writer—David "Mas" Masumoto, along with his wife Marcy and daughter Nikiko Masumoto!

I met Mas more than 30 years ago at a writers' event at the Japanese American National Museum, soon after EPITAPH FOR A PEACH was published. That book was probably my introduction to food stories, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for farming, food culture, and Japanese American history. EPITAH is now a celebrated classic, and WISDOM OF THE LAST FARMER has always been a personal favorite too.

Mas has written many other books, including THE PERFECT PEACH, the cookbook he co-wrote with Marcy—we got to taste their peach cobbler yesterday. Wow! 😋

I'm especially thrilled that Mas and Nikiko partnered on a picture book, EVERY PEACH HAS A STORY, published in 2025 to wonderful reviews.

Beyond his writing, Masumoto Family Farm is celebrated for their (They also grow nectarines, apricots, and grapes for raisins). In 1996, chef Alice Waters at Chez Panisse famously served a single, perfectly ripe Suncrest on a plate with just a knife—to show she couldn't improve on fruit grown with such true care by a master farmer.🍑

In our book Alice Waters and the Trip to Delicious by Jacqueline Briggs Martin, artist Hayelin Choi featured the Matsumoto peaches on the dedication page and in the Author's Note.

Peach harvest has ended, so their fruit may be hard to find now, but be sure to check out the books by the Masumoto family!
