This delightfully illustrated and cheerily cheeky children’s book presents itself at first as the story of a fruit’s fears but soon emerges as a clever introduction to the Fruit of the Spirit as found in Galatians 5. When Prudence Peach thinks her days are numbered after she gets wind of some other fruit from out of this world, she brings the bad news back to her fellow fruit to prepare them for their demise. The author cleverly uses the bickering banter of the earthly fruit as they jockey for first place, in stark contrast to the Godly fruit of the spirit, showcased sweetly in depictions of human virtue at the end. Reading somewhat like a stage play, the book makes a great tool for theatrical demonstration in a youth ministry.
