Written by Kashmira Sheth & illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler


Hard-working Jiva might not be the only one anticipating a delicious feast of peas from his garden. Every morning, Jiva works in his garden until the sun turns as red as a bride’s sari. He plants peas and beans, potatoes and tomatoes, eggplants and okra in his vegetable patch. When his friend Ruvji admires his plants Jiva sings:


Plump peas, sweet peas,

Lined- up-in-the-shell peas.

Peas to munch, peas to crunch

A feast of peas for lunch.


But each time Jiva is ready to pick the peas for his feast, they’re already gone. What has happened?


From the award-winning author and illustrator team who created Tiger in My Soup, this original story set in India features a deliciously amusing mystery about gardening, anticipation, hard work, and generosity. 32 pages


"Sheth’s use of language (poetry and repetition) is a singular delight. Equally charming are Ebbeler’s illustrations, which include lots of funny details, with exaggerated and elongated cartoon-style figures that make the most of the story’s humor. Delicious!" -Kirkus Reviews (Ages 4-8)
