I love fairy tales and fairy tale retellings, so let's explore some fairy stories or folk tales from other cultures.

Some suggestions:

Wicked Fox by Kat Cho
Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi
Where's Halmoni? by Julie Kim
A Thousand Beginnings and Endings edited by Ellen Oh & Elsie Chapman

Just finished the book & I really enjoyed it! Enough that I'm going to break my "don't read sequels aloud" rule because I want to know what happens next! I look forward to discussing with the group of children to see what was each person's favorite part...there were so many!
