How the Moon Became Dim
How the Moon Became Dim is a delightful children’s story inspired by a Jewish Talmudic interpretation of the Creation story, verses in Genesis 1:14-19. The Talmud contains a commentary of the Sun and the Moon in which the two lights were originally equal in size and emitted the same amount of light. The moon, overcome by the desire to be greater than the sun, asks God to rethink His creation. When God does so, the outcome is not quite as the moon had expected. In crafting this tale, the author conveys to her readers the lesson of everyone’s special and unique roles in the creation of the world and how one of those creations made peace with her role.
