The Moon Lady by Amy Tan

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.

The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God's Wife, The Hundred Hidden Senses, The Bonesetter's Daughter, The Opposite of Fate: Memories of a Writing Life, Saving Fish from Drowning, and two children's books, The Moon Lady and Sagwa, which was converted into a PBS Kids play, are among Amy Tan's works. Tan also worked on the film adaptation of The Joy Luck Club as a coproducer and coscreenwriter. Her essays and short tales have appeared in a variety of publications and anthologies, and her work has been translated into 35 languages. She splits her time between San Francisco and New York with her husband.
