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.
