My daughter brought home a book from school that the teacher read to the class. It’s called The Chocolate Touch and retells the Midas myth through a boy named John Midas who gets the chance to change his entire world to chocolate.
My daughter loves chocolate, so the book appeals to her in that way. It appears she gets the moral: John is ultimately selfish and gets destroyed by his own gift.
I wondered if these modern adaptations exist for Bible stories. I’m sure they do. I just have to find them. If she can learn about the Midas myth from modern retellings, she can learn about biblical stories too.
