King Midas and the Golden Touch

The transformation of everything into gold is such a vivid image — I wonder what inspired that particular depiction and how it helps kids understand greed.

It's impressive how the story conveys a powerful message without feeling preachy. I’d love to hear if others felt the same or if it could be interpreted differently.

The story has been told many times, but this version feels fresh and accessible. Curious about the author's creative process in adapting this classic tale.
