The Aladdin story continues with Wishing Moon, by Michael O. Tunnell! We’re revisiting this favorite of young Madeleine’s and exploring protagonist Aminah’s rise from rags to riches with the discovery of a very special lamp. We slurp on sherbet, brush up on our magical baking skills and explore the religious and historical framing of Tunnell’s take on this well-known tale. Plus: why folklore retellings make kids into academics, Jinni’s feminine energy, and yearning for cream puffs. Join us!
