Grandma Lim has a persimmon tree. One day she sees the biggest and most beautiful persimmon on the tree. She decides to save it for her granddaughter. But the persimmon went missing after a storm blew it off the tree. That’s when a centipede, a spider and a cat got involved to save the day.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a multicultural neighborhood, Grandma Lim’s Persimmons is a tender and flavorful tale of kindness, resilience, and community spirit. When Grandma Lim’s cherished persimmons are unexpectedly taken, what follows is a beautiful story of sharing, understanding, and the small joys that connect us all.
