Moon Lady
Moon Lady | Amy Tan
9 posts | 11 read | 4 to read
A MAGICAL NIGHT WHEN SECRET WISHES CAN COME TRUE On a rainy afternoon, three sisters wish for the rain to stoop, wish they could play in the puddles, wish for something, "anything, " to do. So Ying-Ying, their grandmother, tells them a tale from long ago. On the night of the Moon Festival, when Ying-ying was a little girl, she encountered the Moon Lady, who grants the secret wishes of those who ask, and learned from her that the best wishes are those you can make come true yourself. This haunting tale, adapted from Amy Tan's best-seller "The Joy Luck Club" and enhanced by Gretchen Schields's rich, meticulously detailed art, is a book for all to treasure.

Well I‘m far away from my bookshelves so here‘s a pic of a book I bought from an indie thrift online seller. It was in terrible condition. Work typically sucks up my life so I shop only online for everything except groceries. Mostly I‘m an elibrary borrower. 🤷‍♀️

Thank you @Soubhiville for the #authoramonth challenge. Although, I only managed to read two of her books, I came away with an increased appreciation of not only her talent, but of her as a person. Thanks to Litsy, I watched the Netflix documentary about Amy Tan which is well done . #amytan

On a rainy day, a grandmother tells her three granddaughters a story about herself when she was a child in China…how on a beautiful mid autumn festival day, she saw the ‘Moon Lady‘. An endearing story which I found out was adapted from The Joy Luck Club (which I haven‘t read). A pity I did not read the physical copy and missed out on the illustrations but the background music on play during the author‘s narration was lovely.

What I loved most about this book was the vibrant, colorful images that bring the story to life. I also love when an author of adult books writes a children‘s book. A Chinese grandmother entertains her grandchildren with a story of her childhood. The reader experiences a glimpse of Chinese culture and the celebration of the Moon Lady.

I love Amy Tan. Have I said that a few times already this month? Listening to Amy Tan read a kids story is its own unique pleasure.

This is definitely more middle-grade — the story gets “real” at parts with animal blood and a child falling overboard. But the imagery & culture breathed into this parable really makes it sparkle. #AuthorAMonth
